6 Weeks Post Op, Right Breast Higher and Harder...

No need to be nervous. Your surgeon isn't going to say "ZOMG I've never seen this before! What are we going to do?" :-) That said, bear in mind that you *might* be experiencing capsular contracture, and the best solution for that will be a surgical fix. Be sure to raise it as a concern when you see her, although it's a pretty good bet that she'll notice it right away. She WILL listen to your questions and concerns, so just lay them all out for her. If the concerns are of a financial nature, be sure to discuss those as well. It's quite possible that at this stage you would still be covered for the surgery to fix this, but find out what your surgeon's policy is on this. And bear in mind that it's definitely better to have it addressed ASAP than it is to a) hope for a magic pill to fix it, or b) hope that it will fix itself. Good luck!

I have expressed my concern the last 2 times, she said not to worry this early on...I am confident in her and want to trust what she says just still really nervous. She has put me in a wrap to help push the right breast down...so far no results. I guess I will be that 5% chance of CC. UGH

*frown* And you're 6 weeks already? Well go with what your surgeon says, at least for now. Either things will improve, or they won't; you just need to have a plan in place for the latter scenario. For example, what to do if things haven't change at 3 months post, what to do if things haven't changed at 6 months post. Basically write down your plan and try to stick with it (I know how things can come up, forcing you to make a new plan). Once you've written down your plan, you can stress less about it. Maybe keep a photo diary, but be sure to take front, oblique and side pics, from the same distance every time. Make note of the date and time of day, and make note of any extra symptoms you've noticed. Or any improvements you've noticed. In the event that you change surgeons, you'll be able to provide some sort of history/journal for the new surgeon. Besides, once things do improve, you'll have the visual proof for yourself!

I had the same problem early on. At about a week out.. One was higher and I was immediatly advised I should massage it to help it drop into the pocket. If it didn't drop, then my doc said he would have to go in and pull it down. I can tell it has dropped.. I'm at 4 wk post op and I massaged them both several times a day. I'm waiting on my next app. to see what he recommends. Don't worry.. I believe it's more common than you think and I'm sure everything will turn out great.

Hi...I am just one week post op- I got 397 cc under muscle. Mine look EXACTLY like yours (one regular...one...not) and im completely freaking out. I woke up crying this morning and haven't really stopped since. I called my surgeon and his assistant told me it was normal and to wear the band to help push the implant down. Now seeing yours are still like this 8 weeks post op, im even more worried. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE write back and tell me what the final outcome was. good luck to you!! xoxo ash
