Normal Swelling or Capsular Contracture?

jackie76
Had my implants redone,with capsulectomy.. It feels soft after 1st surgery.The 3rd day my right side kind got bumped hard .It has been 10 days and some for reason the right side feels tender and swollen.Eventhought the tenderness on the rt is more then the one on the left.I'm afraid something went wrong. Is it because of the surgery, because it got bumped, or am I getting another capsular contraction???Dr told me to massage I've been doing it but i still feel pain..Any advise please..
