Asked By:Marmolade in Eubank, KY

can ultrasound picture show in black and white that capsular contracture occurred or that it didn't? One of my breast is smaller, which worries me. The surgeon I consulted lately took on a manner which I can describe subjectively as dismissive and concluded my right side of chest appears to be smaller and therefore the right breast is smaller too. I am not exactly certain I can take his words seriously though. Can I have an examination done to confirm cotracture has occurred or not?If so, which?
