Hello, I got under the muscle 385cc gummy bear implants in August 2021. While they look great, I notice that they are soft if I lean/slouch forward and get progressively harder and more fake-looking when I straighten my posture or lean backwards. They do not sit unnaturally high or hurt. What is causing my implants to feel harder?
Answer: Capsular contracture Hello. Thanks for posting your query. Looking at this pic it's difficult to tell whether it's capsular contracture or not. Best I would advice is to visit your surgeon and get examined. Based on examination it can be decided whether imaging will be required or not. Hope I have cleared your query. All the best.

Answer: Implants You have gummy bear implants which are the hardest implants made. As breast tissue falls away from your implants, you feel more breast and less implant, which feels softer. There is nothing wrong, and it is just the implant you chose.

Answer: 8 months post-op- Do I have capsular contracture? What you are describing does not sound like capsular contracture. Different positions can make the implant more noticeable which sounds like what you are feeling.

Answer: 8 months post-op- Do I have capsular contracture? Hi. Really cannot say for sure just based on the picture but visually you have a very nice result with very good symmetry. It is probably just that as you straighten up and pull back that as the muscle has a little more tension on it the implants will feel more firm. If it bothers you much then I would recommend seeing her plastic surgeon so that he or she can assess you in person and appropriately evaluate and explain all of that. But again, you appear to have a very nice result.
