Do I have capsular contracture? Will I need a revision? (Photo)

Question

Im 3 months post op breast lift and 400cc silicone implant. My left breast pictured is boxy and implant is high. Will implant eventually set in place or will I need revision? My right looks perfect.

Hi there and thanks for your question and sorry that you are going through this.
It seems like you have a capsule and that it is causing a waterfall deformity and can be fixed.
Although it is necessary to examine you to tell you exactly whats going on, I think that removing the scar tissue and placing a new implant may remedy your problem.  In some cases, health insurance can sometime help pay for the capsulectomy.
best of luck

Thank you for your question. It appears that you do have a left breast implant superior malposition. You definitely need a revision. If you have a good relationship with your current surgeon, I would have he or she performed this. Best wishes to you.

Your implant is sitting too high. go back to your surgeon and try some nonsurgical treatments like chest bands and ultrasound treatments before doing surgery. You are still fairly early in the healing process.

To make an accurate assessment on the outcome of a plastic surgery procedure we generally need to see a complete set of proper before and after pictures.
Based on the picture you’ve included, it does look like your implant is sitting a bit high, and you might benefit from a revision.
