I got submuscular silicone implants 11 months ago. My left side is soft & moves around well in the pocket, but the right side is much firmer. It still moves around in the pocket like the left side, but feels a little like a ball moving around. My surgeon said the implant was fine, it just had more scar tissue around it than the left. I'm confused...isn't that capsular contracture? I've been doing displacements exercises & he says that will help soften the scar tissue. What's going on? Advice?

This can be confusing if you are not used to metrics, but 1cc (cubic centimeter) is the same as 1ml (milliliter) and both weigh 1 gram. Breast implants are measured in volume (cc), but since these are metric measurements, 295cc = 295grams.
