Do I have capsular contracture even if my breast is not firm or painful? I am 2 months in, but my right has dropped a lot.

Asked By:MLchanges in San Antonio, TX

I got a breast aug a little over two months ago. Saline, under muscle, incisions in the boob fold, 590cc left and 610cc right. My left has not dropped at all, but my right has substantially. The left is not firm and it is not painful so I am uncertain if I should be worried about capsular contracture. I am in another state then my dr but I emailed him pictures and he put me on accolate and doubled my dose of vitamin E and I massage aggressive 5x a day.
