Breast augmentation deformation - 13 months post op - capsular contracture or not fluffed yet? (Photos)

Dear oobnbb,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

It is difficult to diagnose capsular contracture using only photos. If the right side is clearly firmer than the left, the right breast can be said to have capsular contracture. Otherwise, it is not capsular contracture. Capsular contracture usually begins within 3 to 4 months after surgery, and is unlikely to begin after 13 months. In the early days after surgery, the tissue is a bit tight, but it gradually becomes softer over time, but since 13 months have already passed, you cannot expect it to get any softer from now on.

It would be a good idea to see your surgeon. They would be able to better examine you to see what’s going on, since it’s difficult to give you an opinion on the information you’ve provided.

At thirteen months post op you are at your final result and further "fluffing" is not expected. It appears you may have capsular contracture. Visit with your surgeon for an evaluation.

Based on your pictures, it looks like it’s capsular contracture. Consult with your original surgeon if possible.

Best of luck !
