Asked By:byefeliciaa in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Hi, I had my implants and lift in 2016 (Allegren textured round implants) I have double bubble from this but the query I have is, last night my right breast has been causing so much pain on the bottom and outer areas of my breast and when I move the implant. Not menstruating or pregnant and never breastfed. Seeing my local gp now, should I ask for an mri/ultrasound? Could this be capsular contraction? Or any other suggestions? I will see a couple plastic surgeon also.
