Answer: Capsular contracture Thank you for posting your question here!My answer will be based on the limited information and pictures provided, for a detailed and personalized plan I would recommend consulting with your plastic surgeon in person. Capsular contracture has many aspects to it , from change in the shape of the breast , changes in the feel of the breast (becomes firmer), and patient discomfort and that might change the degree of capsular contracture and potentially the management of the contracture , so it is hard to weigh in based on pictures alone so I would encourage you to consult with your plastic surgeon in person so they can come up with a plan that works best for you.I hope this helps, best of luck!

Answer: Capsular contracture Dear gt1988, 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.
