I had C-D cup tuberous breasts prior to surgery, I got a breast lift and implant 2.5 months ago with 210cc in each side. My right bigger breast is painful with muscle tension and very hard on the sides, while the left has no pain. Doctor said it could be capsular contraction but not for sure, as I see her in a month. I'm wondering what options I have, I'm open to taking both out, but don't want too much sag, should I just exchange the right? Any ideas/options?

Answer: Breast pain As your surgery was recent the pain may not be related to capsular contracture, but your surgeon will help diagnose or rule this out at your appointment. If it is early capsular contracture it may be able to be treated with medication. If the contracture is more severe you can consider exchanging just the one implant. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method The technique I recommend is explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
