Hi. I'm 3 weeks post op from a bilateral breast implant exchange and internal stitches put in to keep the breast safe medial (they bottomed out and were lateral before). The left one feels high and looks different than the right. I like the position and location of the right but the left doesn't look or feel right. It doesn't feel hard, but I do feel it sitting really high. And swollen. Does it look like it could be capsular contracture? I'm also a registered nurse and its my first night back:(
