How Early Can Capsular Contracture Start? (photo)

Asked By:BAGirly

I am 4 1/2 months post op from my breast augmentation surgery. I noticed from the first few days that my left breast sat higher than the right. They both have dropped a lot, but the left still sits about an inch higher than the right. I am still taking my medication, wearing my strap, and massaging daily. My PS says it is capsular contracture. Is it possible that the capsular contracture occurred immediately? It always looked higher than the other.
