Could I be experiencing capsular contracture 6 months after my breast lift with implants? (photos)

Dear Private girl,
capsular contracture happens. In fact, every implant has a capsule form around it, its just a certain percentage develop thick capsules. There is a lot we don't know about it actually. Some think that bacteria that gets on the implant during insertion can increase the risk. Thats why we use a Keller Funnel in our practice to reduce that possibility. Our capsular contracture rate is less than 2% because we use a keller funnel as well as meticulous operating room techniques.I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

It's possible that the symptoms you're describing—pain and the implant seeming higher on one side—are signs of capsular contracture, particularly if they occur six months after the surgery. An examination is essential to give you an accurate diagnosis and go over the possible management with you. Medication, massage, or, in certain situations, surgery to replace the implant and remove scar tissue may all be part of the treatment approach.
