Asked By:Friendly295837 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I had BA under the muscle in 2017. About a week ago I noticed my breasts look asymmetrical but just fet like nipples were uneven and hadn’t always been that way, i has some left pec tightness and soreness i attributed to a workout. Within days tho my breasts were noticeably asymmetrical and the left side continues to feel inflamed, tender and achey and firm. Can capsular contracture happen so quickly? I am workin contract in NY and haven’t been able to see a doctor yet. Is there urgency here?
