How Early Can Capsular Contraction Start and What Are the Symptoms?

March 25, 2009
Asked By:puppet4565 in Toledo, Ohio

I just had a breast augmentation with a crescent lift 10 days ago. My left breast has already settled in nicely, but my right breast still sits high on my chest, my ps has told me this is quite normal, my concern is the inside of my right breast is nice and full but the lower outside looks flat and deflated still, could this be an early sign of capsular contraction? How early can capsular contraction start?
