19 weeks post breast augmentation. Capsular contracture vs muscle tightness? (photo)

April 17, 2018
Asked By:coppersmom in Florence

I’m only having issues with my L breast. I seems to sit little higher on the chest wall and hasn’t fully “dropped.” I’ve noticed a slant on the medial side of the L breast right. I’m feeling tightness in my breast fold when I do certain stretches. It still isn’t comfortable to lie on my stomach. My L breast just still feels like a foreign object. The breast is still soft, but why am I feeling tightness in my beast fold. Please help! Thanks! (Periareolar incisions)
