How long does it take for a breast to settle after capsulectomy? (Photo)

Asked By:andreea1983

I had a capsulotomy on January 5th on my right breast. After almost a month the scar looks great but feels a little tender still and the breast feels a little harder than the left one. I don't feel any tightness in it and it seems to be at the same level as the left one. I would like to know how long does it take for the breast to settle and start looking like the left one, or how long untill a second capsular contracture occurs.
