Do I Have Capsular Contracture or is It Still a Muscle Spasm?

Natasia B.
I'm two months post op. My implants still sit high, and feel hard. They also look like they have a hump from a profile view, which worries me. My implants are not moving down into their pockets at all! I've been doing massages to move the implant and reduce scar tissue from forming and started taking vitamine E. My PS says its muscle spasm which is causing my implants to stay high on my chest, but could it be capsular contracture? From small A to small D, submuscular, 460cc, silicone
