I am a 32DDD with 600cc high pro cohesives. My left pocket has grooves in it (I can feel where slices were cut in capsule and it's left visual grooves) from capsulotomy for cc grade 2/3. My right implant now has at least a grade 2 contracture. This is the second cc of right side; first was a grade 4. 5'9 125 very small frame.
