Asked By:siobhan_lam in England, United Kingdom

I'm 3 months post op. I have 240cc under the muscle. I started to develop contraction 2 months in. I'm curious to know what stage I'm in and if I should consider surgery. I have been on medication for 3 weeks so far,but I haven't seen much improvement. I finish my medication in 3 or 4 weeks. If it doesn't soften should I consider surgery? Will it soften?
