About 1.5 years ago I got silicone implants. L was always more problematic than R. R feels as though nothing ever happened. L recently started feeling harder, and lumpy. It feel VERY tight and is painful when I lay on it or put pressure on it. No visual changes seen. Had a general breast surgeon and plastic look at it and said it looks ok, U/S was done nothing odd appeared but breast seems denser since, it hurts when I push on it too. Is this a capsular contraction? Any other thoughts?
Answer: Plastic look breaks, capsular contraction. Hello, thank you for your question. That is us unusual to feel that but difficult to say as to what it can be considering, I was not the one that performed the surgery and can not complete a physical examination. Speak once again to your plastic surgeon .

Answer: Capsular contracture Capsular contracture is the term to describe when the scar capsule that surrounds the implant begins to tighten around the implant. It can cause the best to feel hard, change shape, or even hurt. As you have described some of these symptoms it is best to visit with your plastic surgeon for an evaluation. I've included a video about capsular contracture that I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Capsular contracture Capsular contracture is a possible complication that can occur after breast implant surgery. It is caused by the body's immune response to the implant, resulting in the formation of a thick, tight scar tissue capsule around the implant. Capsular contracture can cause the breast to feel hard, lumpy, or painful and can affect the appearance of the breast.

Answer: Implants If your plastic surgeon examined the breast and did not see a problem with your capsule, what you are feeling may just be your own breast tissue. If you are more dense, you might have more discomfort. If there is a specific spot of tenderness, you may have a small sensory nerve trapped in scar tissue. I would suggest getting a mammogram and stopping all caffeine and taking vitamin E.
