Asymmetrical over the muscle implants - Can this be capsular contracture? (photo)

jpinaulaMay 25, 2023
My right breast feels a bit firm & more round. I have implants over the muscle. It doesn’t hurt but I think it’s capsular contraction because my left breast is ok & I can squeeze it completely. I also feel like it’s more higher then the one that’s not capsulated. What should I do? Should I do exchange & go under the muscle? Do I need a lift? I don’t feel like I do. I don’t want the anchor cut

Any concerns regarding the possibility of capsular contracture should be discussed with your surgeon. He or she would be able to examine your implants and make a more definitive diagnosis. Treatment options can also be discussed at that time
