Answer: Capsular contracture? 5 weeks post-op Thank you for your question and for the photographs.I can see that your left breast is settling quite nicely but the right breast is still quite large, heavy and swollen. In my professional opinion this is not a contracture which takes several months on average to appear. It is however likely to be a collection of fluid (seroma) which we need attention.My advise is to contact your surgeon and to ask for a follow up in the next few days so that he/she is aware of what is happening and can take action.All the bestAndrea Marando MDCertified, European Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am.

Answer: Capsule ? It would be too soon to develop a capsule. Best to see your ps about the size discrepancy. Things should still be settling. Nilesh Sojitra
