Has one of teardrop implants rotated? (Photo)

Question

Can someone please tell me if this is a case of a implant rotation or capsular contracture? Thanks!

Dear Mandy_2323,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. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

as others have said... best to see your surgeon as your surgeon knows what was done, what issues you may have had as you were healing, and can examine you to determine if there is an obvious rotation.  Your photos certainly show asymmetric breasts... but not the issue is determining what is causing that.

If your right breast is firmer, you have capsular contracture. I would suggest going back to your surgeon and being checked.

Sorry for your problem and I would see your surgeon or other expert in the area and be examined in person to determine what is going on and what the best way to fix it might beDr Corbin

Thank you for your question.  It is difficult to tell based on photographs alone.  Please see your plastic surgeon for an examination in person to make a proper diagnosis.  If you are right implant is soft and freely movable than the implant on the left could have flipped.
