Is this capsular contracture 4 months post-op? Would I need surgery again? (Photos)

Asked By:Motherhood3 in Calabasas, CA

I made an apt with my surgeon a little after 3 months post op about my concerns. Harding of my left breast, bleeding from the nipple when massaging it, and very painful when massaging. I would squeeze it but it wouldn't squeeze very much because of how hard it's becoming. He said it wasn't Capsular Contracture it was the muscle, to take vitamin E, and to keep massaging vigorously but it keeps getting worse. How much would it be to fix it if that's the case? (silicone, 560, Natrelle, Allergan).
