I am about 6 months post surgery and I got 450cc silicone above the muscle. I'm 5'8 and I'm athletically built, and I have next to no breast tissue. My left breast feels natural but my right has been tight since 2-3 weeks post op. About two months ago I was squeezing my right breast and I heard a loud POP! Instant relief. My doctor said I broke some of the capsule. By what I can tell, the capsule is on the top above my nipple. Can I break it again? Are there better techniques?
