I'm 9 weeks post op and my one breast feels awesome no pain but the one that Is round has constant annoying pain .. Is this the start of cc ? My surgeon says to give it time but I'm worried
Answer: One breast is rounder than the other. Has it just not dropped yet or am I forming capsular contracture Thank you for your question. In only 9 weeks, most likely you do

Answer: Asymmetry Your asymmetry appears to be due to the left implant bulging more superiorly. Since you are only 9 weeks out from surgery, it may still stretch and become symmetric. As long as both are soft, you probably just need more time.But, since you are concerned, you should call your surgeon and be seen.

Answer: One breast is rounder than the other. Has it just not dropped yet or am I forming capsular contracture? If your breast has been shaped like this from surgery, it is more likely that the implant has not dropped yet or that you had asymmetry with a higher breast fold on the left. If this is a change and the breast was lower and is now tighter and higher, it could be early capsular contracture. Your surgeon who has followed you is the best person to give you advice on this. At this point, I would continue to follow your surgeon's recommendations. It is too early to consider any revision surgery as things may improve with more time.

Answer: Capsular contracture Without examining you, it is impossible to tell. The possibilities are 1) superior implant malposition (possible) 2) Capsular contracture (most likely) 3) pre-existing asymmetry (least likely). your surgeon, actually any well trained plastic surgeon, will most likely be able to tell immediately when they examine you. all the best to you!Dr. Robert Shenker MD FRCSC
