Feels Like My Implants Are Being Squeezed or Contracted?

heavensent0217
I am 5 days post op from my BA. i had mentor silicone 350cc moderate plus placed subglandularly. The past couple days my left breast feels as though it is being squeezed or contracted. Does this mean I am going to suffer from capsular contracture? Or is this a normal part of healing?
