7 weeks post op, Is This Capsular Contracture? (photos)

June 8, 2011
Asked By:Violet 34 in UK

I've had a surgery over 7 weeks ago,2nd one,got 400HP in left breast,and 375HP in right one,due to small assymetry.My left breast healed well.Right was difficult,bleeded more,and there was a swelling on the right side of the breast(bottom part below armpit)that was soft at the beginning.When I squeezed it with my hand it felt like some fluid.It hardened with time,after few weeks it's better.I found a swelled vein under right one. 2 weeks post op right breast appeared smaller,and it's still so.
