Sore breasts. Could this be capsular contracture?

Question

Recently I have started to get soreness in my breasts one more than the other and I had my procedure done in July of 2020. If it is capsular contracture is there anything I can do to lessen the severity or is revision my only option? Does soreness that far from surgery mean capsular contracture? Is it possible to get prescribe a medication to help or is it too late?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Sore breasts can be a result of so many things such as hormonal changes or exercise.  I encourage you to visit with your surgeon for an evaluation to determine if there is any indication that capsular contracture is developing in your case.

Dear Boobels,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.
