7 weeks post op breast augmentation?

M
MissBBoobOct 20, 2013

I have 300 cc smooth round moderate silicone implants under the muscle . My right breast implant makes rubbing noise when I move it up, down and side to side, and it doesn't move as freely as my left implant and the breast feels tighter on top but softer on the bottom and sides. Is it normal to have rubbing noise 7 weeks post op? Can it be the sign of capsular contracture? Thank you

It has actually been shown that it is very difficult to tell the difference between the two types of implants unless you are extremely skinny so you should not have to worry about your concerns with bras

With regards to implants, there is a wide range of quality and obviously the higher quality of the implant the more expensive implants cost. I would encourage patients to make their decision based on achieving the best possible results and not on the cost of the implants, as an extra $1,000...
