I am 8 weeks PO with 550cc silicone unders. That being said, my left breast has settled and my right seems to be slacking. They appear even for the most part when arms are down (nipples seem a bit off), but I can tell from looking at the sides my right still sits higher. Something that really bothers me is when I lift my arms... my right implant moves noticeably higher than the left that seems to be in its pocket. Both breasts are soft and move well - can this be capsular contracture?
