My dr. dx'd me with cc on my L breast 3 weeks ago I am 3 months p/o it gets firmer throughout the day at work and has not risen or changed it's location I can just feel the capsule around the implant with some small ridges in the scar tissue...I massage aggressively day and night and apply heat and since I am a PT I do ultra sound. With your clinical experience do you think I can avoid the CC from getting worse since it softens when I heat and massage ? Will it effect the dropping process?
