My doctor is traveling and this is not extremely urgent but is it normal for your incision area to feel hard? I felt it and it almost feels like there’s a metal in there yet poke-able. Of course I didn’t poke at it much because I’m still numb and scared to but reading about this whole capsular contracture things gets me nervous! This is also the breast that is more swollen and bigger than the other.

Answer: Breast augmentation incision Hello and thank you for the question. It's not unusual to have some firmness in the scar early post op and it should soften up over the course of next several weeks to months. I'd suggest that you run this by your surgeon.
