About a year ago my right breast started to droop in an unnatural way (nipple down first), as compared to the right. I am also experiencing a fold at the bottom and the size of my right breast is now smaller than my left. Neither breast feels extra firm and I am experiencing zero pain; both breasts feel the same as always. My implants are under the muscle and around 12 years old. I was thinking capsular contracture but they aren't feeling extra firm.
Answer: Implants Your capsule has changed the shape of your breasts. If you have saline implants, you may also have a partial deflation. Gel does not deflate. Please be examined by your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Capsular contracture Hi. It looks like there is mild capsular contracture. If it's stable, not causing pain, and not bothering you aesthetically, then you may not have to do anything about it. However, whenever there is any change, I would suggest an in-person evaluation to make sure that there isn't anything else going on (i.e. implant rupture). If you want to improve the look, then your surgeon can discuss the options with you. Best of luck!
