Thanks for reaching out. It sounds like you are experiencing capsular contracture. That is when the scar tissue around the implant hardens and can become deformed and even painful. It can be precipitated by an implant rupture. It is typically treated with removal of the implants and the scar tissue and replacing them with new implants. It is best to be seen by a board certified plastic surgeon to get an accurate diagnosis and plan.I hope this helps :)
You should return to your surgeon or consult with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon. Regards,
Hello,I recommend that you book an in-person consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon. They will examine you and discuss options. They may order imaging of the breasts to be done and recommend replacement/revision surgery.All the best
Thank you for your question and I am sorry to hear of your implant hardening. I would recommend first seeing your plastic surgeon for an in-person evaluation and diagnosis of capsular contracture. Once diagnosed the appropriate steps at correction can be discussed - capsulectomy and implant exchange. Best wishes.
You may have a capsular contracture. Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for an evaluation. Bring any paperwork that you have available on your implants. If possible, visit with the surgeon who placed your implants.

Thank you for your question. Even though it is a rare occurrence, you may have developed a capsular contracture. I would recommend you see your surgeon or seek another board certified plastic surgeon to perform a physical examination and possibly an ultrasound of the breast. You may need a revision to take the old implants out and place new ones in.Best of luck in your endeavors!Sincerely,James Fernau, MD, FACSBoard Certified ENTBoard Certified Plastic SurgeryMember of ASPS, ASAPS, ISAPS, The Rhinoplasty Society, AAFPRS, OTO/HNS, ASLMS, International Federation for Adipose Therapeutics & Science
It sounds like you are having capsular contracture. Although it is rare, this can happen years after the surgery. See a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.
The risk of metal jewelry is that the electrical current from the cautery travels through the body to the piercing rather than to the cautery pad, resulting in a burn. It is always preferable to have it removed. Sometimes patients can not get jewelry out and nurses will place tape over it. I...

Thank you for your question. Although your breasts don't appear to be tubular, your areolas do appear "puffy." For a situation like this, breast implants with a lift (mastopexy) would be a good option. Be sure to consult with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon....
