I have 600cc silicone implants over the muscle. They are 1 year implanted. My right breast feels firm and the left breast feels squishy. Is this normal or should I be concerned of a slow leak? The firm one sits high and looks round the other squishier one sits low and seems to sag a bit.
Answer: Leak? Subglandular placement of any implant has a higher risk of contracture and it appears that on your right side that you may have a grade 3 capsular contracture. The left implant should feel softer and it is very unlikely to have a slow leak at 1 year. Consider having your surgeon re-examine you to give you his/her diagnosis.

Answer: Firm breast implant after 1 year This most likely represents a capsular contracture. In breast augmentation I have chosen to spend time reviewing

Answer: Implant issues It is difficult to evaluate the breast without seeing them with the arms down and also seeing how they move when displaced. You may have a capsular contracture of one. Best to see your surgeon.

Answer: Firm implant It is likely that you have a capsular contracture on your right breast while your left breast is normal. Subglandular silicone implants have a much higher rate of contracture than sub muscular.
