Asked By:Mdur80 in Sunnyvale, CA

I had replacement w/ lyft in February. Both my breast are firm, I want to get some type of.imaging to see how bad my cc is. Some surgeons say baker2 some baker3. I already had 2 surgeries, not willing to go into a 3rd one unless is absolutely necessary. Can anyone MRI show capsular contracture? Thanks!
