Implants 10 years ago, lift 6 months ago - is this capsular contracture? (Photos)

Dear newgirl14,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

From these photographs, I cannot tell if it is capsular contracture. Usually with capsular contracture, you have pain, implant displacement and hardening of the implants.

Best Wishes,

This does not look loke capsular contracture .
I feel that the implants are too large for your frame .
The size of the implants can be reduced with possible internal absorbable mesh support

Just based on your photos, you probably do have a capsular contracture. Long term, you would do better with the implants placed behind the muscle for support and upper breast fullness. Go talk to your surgeon.

Hello,
The position of the implants is related to the boundaries of the pocket created for the implant. If a similar pocket is created on both sides, the result will also be similar. If the implant is large for the pocket created, its edges will be prominent and tight. Ultrasound can be used to determine whether there is capsular contracture in the capsule.
