Answer: 1 month post 600cc silicone implants top of breast, they get hard from time to time could it be Capsular Contracture? Thank your for sharing your question and photographs. Common things being common I do not think this is a capsular contracture as you are still very early in your recovery. Your current appearance is most likely due to the swelling from surgery flattening your implants and holding them high on your chest. As this swelling resolves, the volume within the implant will redistribute towards the lower portion of your breast achieving a more natural appearance, and filling your bra cup more. I know waiting is difficult, but judge your results at 4-6 months after surgery as most of your breast changes should have occurred by then. Hope this helps.

Answer: Early healing from breast augmentation The unnatural shape of the breast and unusual firmness is most likely just because the implants have not yet settled into position and the chest tissues adapted to the large volume that has been added. There will be a notable change in the next 2-3 months regarding the softness and the appearance. If you feel that the implants are too full on the sides and encroaching on your armpits, this will also improve as the implants settle, but may also be due to the fact that your chosen implant size is quite large. Your concerns are very unlikely to be secondary to a capsular contracture.
