Capsular contracture is an unfortunate and relatively uncommon sequelae of breast augmentation. Most of the time, the capsule is stable and does not worsen. However, soem of the time it does progress.
Hopefully, your capsular contracture stays stable for a long time and does not worsen. Unfortunately, there is no way to anticipate what will happen.Watchful waiting and close follow up with your plastic surgeon is recommended.
Capsular contracture can get worse over time. There is no real way of predicting whether or not it progresses. If your surgery was recently then it may be progressing.

You might find a country in which this is possible, but everything we know about breast implants tells us that this would not be a good idea.
Whether you use saline or silicone , the amount of volume in the implant is the same and does not affect the shape. What does affect the shape is the profile of the implant; for the same given volume a high profile implant may appear smaller than a moderate profile implant. A board certified ...
