I had saline over the sub glandular over filled too 1000cc. I am 7 weeks post op. I'm afraid I have capsular contraction (Photo)

Question

My left breast is ideal. Exactly what I wanted. My felt breast in high and firm. It has never been soft. I like the "saggy" natural look. My surgeon is retiring and out of state. I'm planning on seeing a local surgeon to be examined. Of course. I'm afraid I have capsular contraction. I am doing my dis placement exercises. This is my second BA. My first was 500cc textures silicon overs almost 20 years ago. I am 40.

They look to big. Zafilukurst may help orally. Ultrasound and massage may help. Smaller implants would probably look better and be less problematic.

Gary Lawton, MD, FACS · Answer

The massages are the way to help prevent or correct early capsular contracture.  The risk of capsules is higher with over the muscle.  Make that appointment to see if you do have capsules.  Keep up the massage.

I am sorry to hear about concerns you have; you are correct in that in-person evaluation by well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons will be key when it comes to making a diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Frankly, I do have significant experience with breast implants of 1000 cc or greater;  I think that placing this volume of breast implants for patients with your “starting point” can be very problematic, in many different ways. I would suggest that you be very careful with your decision-making when it comes to additional surgery;  again, I have seen many problems arise…Best wishes.

Mary Gingrass, MD · Answer

I would be more suspicious that a 1000cc overfilled saline implant is the cause of your firm Breast. Might not be a cc at all. I would visit a board certified plastic surgeon because this question cannot be answered without examining your breasts.
