My Implant All of a Sudden Feels Hard After 6yrs... Why?

September 26, 2012
Asked By:jlebron007

I got my implants done about 6yrs ago and I woke up the other day & noticed that my right implant felt different. It's kind of hard like when you first get them done. My left implant feels soft like a normal breast should but now my right implant is hard. Could I get hardening of the capsule 6yrs later or could it be something else? I didn't hit it or anything I just woke up with it that way?
