Post-op 2 weeks, silicone high profile 400cc submuscular. Dr just informed me I'm not massaging hard enough & they're capsulizing! I'm firmly pushing 3-4 times/day + booband nightly, apparently this isn't enough. They have me coming in weekly from now on, Dr to push so hard my skin's red & I cry out, & wearing band for 3 weeks, 24/7. I've been told I'll have to go under to get capsules removed otherwise. I'm devastated. Surely this isn't just my doing!? Should I go for a 2nd opinion?
