Why is one breast implant so soft and the other one isn't? (Photo)

Asked By:Philadelphia1049 in Allen Park, MI

I had a ba approx 8 mos ago. The right breast has dropped & is very soft! However the left implant is a different situation. It dropped but I feel like not as much as the right one. Also, the left one feels harder. Even though the left one is harder, it still moves throughout the pocket just fine! My left breast was slightly smaller than the right preop. Do I need to give the left breast more time to get softer? Or is the pocket made too small on the left? Or could it be capsular contracture?
