Normal Swelling or Capsular Contracture?

Make sure you are following all of the post operative instructions.  You must be patient because you are still swollen from the surgery.  Share your concerns with your PS at your post op appointments. 

Your risk of recurrent casular contracture is higher than the average patient- but at this short time period post-op, its likely you are experiencing post-operative swelling, rather than early capsular contracture. Stop by and visit your plastic surgeon and get his/her opinion.

When patients under go revision breast surgery, if a capsulectomy is performed, there is often a fair amount of pain involved post-op.  If it is severe, you may want to discuss this with your surgeon.
