I had a breast augmentation 2 years ago. In the last week my left breast has felt tight. No pain, no change in shape, nothing out of the ordinary. It just feels tight. I had gone two years without even noticing I had breast implants (they became a part of me) but now I can "feel" the left one. What could it be?

Answer: See your surgeon for a yearly breast check up.
In my practice, my patients come back for yearly breast check ups. This enables the patient to make sure everything is still ok. You should call your PS and schedule a check up just to be safe.

Answer: "Tight" Feeling to Implants May Mean Capsular Contracture
Hi there-
Without examining you, it would be hard to say exactly what I think is going on, but I would be worried that you may be developing a capsular contracture.
I would recommend that you visit your surgeon at your earliest convenience.

Answer: Breat encapsulation
Unfortunately, you sound like you are experiencing a late breast encapsulation. It is possible you sustained a muscle tear, but you do not relate a traumatic event and the process is occurring without pain. You should see your plastic surgeon to be evaluated.
