3 years post op, one breast is still higher and more firm - Can this be capsular contracture? 215 cc high profile, dual plane.

Asked By:Dynamic6343 in Houston, Texas

Hello! I did the breast augmentation 3 years ago (215cc/hp/dual plane/polytech). However, my breasts never get similar. My right breast sits higher and more firm. Is there a chance of capaular contracture? If yes,is surgery mandatory? I dont feel much pain and I dont have problem with how they look at least with cloths on! Also, if I wanna do the revision is there a chance to change the implant size at the same time? I like to go to slighter bigger implants (265 or so). Thank you!
