Confirmed capsular contracture
I saw my doctor last week and he confirmed my left breast implant has formed a thick capsule. He attempted to squeeze the capsule extremely hard to pop it but it was already too thick. Oddly when he squeezed it, there was some clear discharge that came from my nipple. So apparently that indicates a bacterial infection of some sort.
I'm on singulair and he said it will take three months to know if it will reverse the formation of the capsule. He said there is about a 50/50 chance it will be effective.
If it doesn't reverse then we will discuss replacing the implant in January.
I've decided I refuse to let this get me down. It was a risk that I was aware of, and luckily you can hardly tell in clothes. I have a wedding to plan! Life is beautiful.
Nervous (6 months post op)
Hello ladies... It's been a while since I've posted here. Life got insanely busy. I'm engaged now and planning my wedding. I'm loving my new home with my fiancé and all our kids have been getting along great. Generally life is amazing and I can't ever remember being this happy.
Up until last week I was so happy with my implants. My final appointment with my surgeon was perfect at 5 months post op (625 ccs saline under, currently 34DD) and I had no issues.
Then last week I woke up to pain on the left side and it seemed tighter and harder than the right. It was also lifted and more round rather than the natural looking right side. It was odd because the left was always the perfect one, it's the right that was stubborn and refusing to cooperate.
Now I'm quite certain I'm experiencing the early stages of capsular contracture. I have an appointment to see the doctor this week and I'm taking vitamin E and singulair hoping to soften the scar tissue. Massaging helps some but it's clear there is an issue.
I know it's a common complication. I'm just disappointed it happened to me. If anyone has some supportive words or wisdom I'd love to hear them. Thank you.

Four months and no complaints.
Currently four months post op and I can't say I have any complaints. No real changes in the last month. I'm still measuring 34DDD but wearing DD due to the lack of choices out there. I have been hesitant to spend a lot of money on expensive bras since they might shrink over the next few months. But bathing suits are another story! I've never bought so many bikinis in my life. Lol
We leave for Cabo on Friday and this trip is exactly why I wanted my implants. I got them in March hoping they would settle and be beautiful by the time we leave, and that's exactly how it worked out. The boyfriend and I finally moved into our new home a couple of weeks ago so I've been busy with that too.
With that I did snap one quick photo today. I'll try to post more in my bikinis in Cabo this weekend. I hope all you lovely ladies are happy and healing well and blessed beyond words! ??
