Breast Augmentation 2 Years Ago - Started Feeling Tight a Week Ago

Hello,

     It possible that you are experiencing mild capsular contracture that may develop at any time after breast augmentation.  The cause of this excessive scar formation is unknown and patients sometimes require revision and replacement of the implant if it progresses to become very uncomfortable.

    Please make certain that you have undergone a thorough breast examination by your physician and yearly mammogram if indicated by your age. Other medical processes must be ruled out and  implant integrity should be evaluated.

Sincerely,

         Dr. Pedy Ganchi

This may be indication of capsular contraction. I would recommend you see your surgeon to discuss your concerns. Best of luck.

Likely early capsular contracture.  See your plastic surgeon, and consider a course of Montelukast or Zafirlukast.

May also consider mammogram and/or MRI to image the devices and check for rupture.

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. 

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.

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.
