Help! My left breast feels hard, raised scar, painful. My right breast feels soft, less raised scar, no pain. Uncomfy sleeping on left. Is it capsular contracture? Too much side boob = capsulopexy? I'm 31 yo petite Asian female, 5'2", 115 lbs, non-smoker, healthy, no kids. BA done 1.5 years ago. Preop: 34B / Postop: 34D. I want to downsize my 350/325cc high profile to <250cc to reduce at least one cup size. What is cost range for capsulopexy? Fixing capsular contracture? Breast lift? Thank you

Answer: Downsizing Breast Implants From your photos, it appears that the implants, although relatively balanced, are too big for your aesthetic goals and frame. You can downsize these to a smaller and more streamline appearance, but this must be determined after an in-person consultation. The capsular contracture possibilty and hypertrophic scar also must be evaluated in person. This can be corrected, but how you heal may impact the outcome. Thicker scars are more common in Asian patients. You should see a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to get a formal opinion through an in-person consultation. Best of luck, Vincent Marin, MD San Diego Plastic Surgeon
