I had breast Augmentation revision 4 weeks ago. From 420's to 550's. My right breast is smaller and feels tighter. I can't move with out feeling a sense of pulling. I started taking singular 11 days after surgery. What are my options? Will massage help?

Answer: Capsular contracture Dear gabbymastro,Capsular contracture affects people approximately one in 20. No one knows exactly what causes it and what can prevent it completely. It's important for your doctor to use a minimal incision and a Keller funnel as a sleeve to protect the implant from touching anything before goes into the breast pocket. Singulair has been shown to prevent it so you're doing the right thing there. I would suggest you to consult your plastic surgeon. You will get the best recommendations after a thorough examination.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Answer: Capsular Contractor Thank you for sharing your photos. It is difficult to see with the photos if you indeed have a capsular contracture. The best thing is to follow up with your physician. If your doctor gave you the singular then there is a possibility that they are trying to stop it from happening. Continue to stay in contact with your physician. Best of luck to you !
