Asked By:Peaceful347835 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

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?
