Have I got capsular constructure? No pain.. Slightly firmer than the right . does this mean I can never have implants if I have a cc?
Answer: 16 Weeks post Breast Implants. My right breast different from the left, do I have Capsular Contracture? It is possible that you have capsular contracture. You should get reevaluated by your surgeon and develop a plan for treatment. Capsular contracture can be corrected and does not mean that the implant will need to be removed, though it may require replacement with a new implant. Good luck

Answer: The photograph demonstrates the appearance of capsular contracture. Four months is about as early as capsular contracture is observed. It looks very much like you have a contracture on the right side.

Answer: Breast asymmetry It is quite possible that this represents a capsular contracture on the right side. If the right breast appears to be getting more firm and higher on the chest wall with time, then capsular contracture is the likely diagnosis. The other possibility is that the right breast implant pocket was not fully dissected or that you had some notable asymmetry before surgery. If this is the case, then the right breast would not be changing much over time. If you do have a contracture, it can be corrected with another procedure. The chances of having another issue is higher once you have developed a capsular contracture, but it doesn't mean that you can not keep or exchange your implants.

Answer: Question of a capsular contracture 4 months after breast augmentation If your breast implant is firmer and has moved up on your chest wall you may have a capsular contraction. If however your right breast implant has been in a high position since immediately after surgery your implant pocket may be inadequate or the implant may not have dropped properly.And examination by your plastic surgeon is required to make this diagnosis.If you do have a capsular contraction the capsule can be removed and you can have another breast implant. However the addition of acellular dermis and possibly textured implants might be required to reduce the chance of another capsule.For more information on breast implant revision please read the following link:

Answer: Capsule contracture 4 months post-op is a distinct possibility Your image seems to show the appearance of a capsule contracture on the right, and the fact that you note that a your right breast is noticeably firmer to you than your left supports that theory. However, you will need a formal examination by an experienced board certified plastic surgeon to definitely make that determination. Sometimes we can manage this with medication, especially in the milder cases, but sometimes it requires surgery to remove the capsule and replace the implant. It most certainly does not mean that you can never have implants; we just may have to do a little more work to make that succeed! You should schedule an appointment with your surgeon at the earliest possible opportunity to have an evaluation and formulate a treatment plan. Best of luck to you.
