750 cc Mod+ Natrelle implant on the right ruptured after 15 years in Jan 24'. Revision performed Mar. 24 w/755cc Mentor HP extra + bilat. Capsulorrhaphy. 2 weeks after surgery, right breast much lower than the left. Underwent a revision to the right breast in Sept. 24' w/revision to lateral capsulorrhaphy and mesh placed. Month and a half out of surgery, right breast is increasingly riding up right chest. Now the top of my breast is all implant and my IMF is higher. Is this capsular contracture?
