Hi, i am 20 years old, 5 feet tall, quite active, 125 lbs. I have a very small frame being 32a. After surgery they put 335cc's in one breast and 325cc's in the other. At 3 weeks i still cant lift my arms up over my head without tightness. I walk slow, and i can still feel as if the implants are there and heavy. I cant bend down and my breast has softened a TAD bit at week 3 but i cannot squeeze them. They are still tender, high and hard. Is it capsular contracture? Or any other problem? Thanks!!
