Possible capsular contracture. Right breast hurts and is harder. (Photo)

nicoledarrigo
Hello, I’m 3 months post op for breast augmentation. I had mine placed under the muscle. My right breast has always been higher and more firm. My left breast has dropped and feels softer. I had no issues with my right breast until recently. Last week I woke up to pain in my right breast. I thought maybe it was because I fell asleep on the couch. The pain hasn’t gone away and sometimes hurts more when I get out of bed or lift up my arms. It also feels harder. Is this the beginning of what cc feel
