Answer: Capsular Contracture Thank you for your question. Without an in-person evaluation and only one photo, it can be difficult to determine if this is a case of capsular contracture. Pre-operative photos would also be helpful to differentiate; however, the implants appear to be high at this time. If this is a recent procedure, a bandeau can be of assistance. I recommend you meet with your plastic surgeon for further evaluation and to discuss your concerns.

Answer: It's hard to tell with only one picture If you feel the implant hard and difficult to move, you probably have a capsular contracture.If the implant is soft and mobile it is most probably a high riding implant. Regards, Dr. Galaz

Answer: Breast asymmetry following breast augmentation It is difficult to say from a single post-op photo, the cause of the breast asymmetry. You may have natural asymmetries in the size and shape of the breasts and the position of the inframammary fold that were only revealed or accentuated after the surgery. You probably have an early capsule contracture and you could consider taking a leukotriene inhibitor like Singulair at this point. I would discuss your options with your surgeon as many manufacturers now have warranties if capsule contracture occurs within one year of breast augmentation surgery. It may be in your best interest to take advantage of this warranty and undergo corrective surgery before the warranty expires.
