4 months out... Is this capsular contraction?!

WORTH IT$17,665
So I am just at 4 months post op. My right breast seems to have suddenly gotten much harder Nd higher on my chest. I'm freaking out and have scheduled a checkup with my surgeon for Wednesday... Please send positive vibes my way!!! I don't know when I'll be able to afford to get the problem fixed if it does turn out to be what I think.

I actually felt comfortable as I was pulling in to the parking lot of Dr. Tjelmeland's practice! The staff was all very friendly and outgoing in person and on the phone. I did not have to wait very long at all until the doctor and Cindy came in to discuss my particular wants/needs. He explained everything in a way that didn't seem foreign like some drs can do. He was great at answering any ??s I had w/o making me feel dumb for asking them. And u know he gets those same dang questions alllll the time. So it was nice that he took the time to make sure I understood what his opinion was and if I agreed. He took all kinds of measurements that neither of the other two drs I had consulted with did AND he told me the GREAT news that I only needed a mini TT unlike one of the others that said I needed all kinds of stuff done!! I left the consultation knowing that this guy was going to change my life. I went home and spoke with my husband... He had accompanied me to two other consults but was out of town this time. I told him that I had "found my surgeon" and I scheduled i think it was 4-5 weeks out. I couldn't believe it!! Cindy was awesome at informing me of what was going to happen the morning of surgery and what to do the night before all the things I needed. The nurse that walked me back was sooo sweet and had me laughing and comfortable right off the bat. The anesthesiologist (Dr. Malone) was the best anesthesiologist I have ever had (he was my 4th) and really helped me out post surgery when the pain meds weren't working bc of my pain condition. It's been about 6 weeks and I am scheduled to go in on Monday to see where I stand I recovery. All I can say is that I feel beautiful and I live the results so far! I cannot wait to see what it looks like in a year from now. I will definitely be spreading his name around!! And if I have the urge to get anything else nipped and tucked... Dr Tjemeland is the man I want in the OR!!

Oh no!! Thats what it souds like! Have ypu been doing your massages?? I hope everything goes well!!
I massage them very regularly... Feels like I am always massaging!! It's weird bc today it feels much, much softer. Husband asked me if it was possibly around the time of my menstrual cycle....
That would make total sense!!! Hopefully that's all it is!!! It will start to take another shape with capsular contracture too
Yeah it's totally back to soft and can't feel implant at all.... And I started today. Ugh
That's probably what it is then! What a relief! R y still gonna get it. Checked or tell doc about your theory to see if you're on to something?
Healings vibes sent your way
Thank you
Forgot to add that this is the same breast that has been more problematic since the get go... The day of surgery it hurt remarkably worse than the left. I had feelings of electricity and burning in this breast for many weeks post surgery... Much more than the other side. I actually even thought the same thigh was happening, and spoke to my surgeon about it, at my 6 week PO appt. He said at that time that it was fine. Keeping my fingers crossed
Take some pics of your boobs and post a question to the docs here on RS. You'll get some professional opinions before you meet with your PS. all the very best!
Girls looking great ... I think you are going to be ok ... Don't panic Hun ... Happy healing Hun .

They look so natural, no wonder hubby wants to touch them. Tummy looking super also!
Thank u so much!! It's honestly really hard to even feel the implants at all... My surgeon did an outstanding job!!
Amazing new girls,they look natural. ;)
Your scars healed so nicely!
Thanks! I keep reading on here of ladies using this or that on their scars as recommended by their PS. Mine never even mentioned using something topical for scar therapy. However... My chiropractor has a cool laser he uses to treat his patient's various issues by healing at the cellular level. I asked him how it would work on new surgical scars with which he responded that he expected an excellent outcome. I have only had one treatment and that was at around the 6th week mark. I do plan on going again this week to do some laser treatments on my neck and spine so figured I'd bust out the boobie scars again... I make my poor chiro blush... It blows his mind how "open-minded and not bashful at all" I am.... I'll post pix after. Then u can tell me if it's with it or not

11 weeks post MM w/BA & mini TT & contouring lipo

Well I have had to finally accept the fact that my skin on my tummy is just gonna be stretched out looking. My belly button is still bruised and still a little hard but overall I am extremely happy with my outcome!! My boobies have gotten so soft and actually bounce and jiggle when I walk!! I was drying my hair (bent over and nude) the other day and my husband stopped shaving to take a look (& cop a feel??) from my side and was impressed with how natural my breast look and feel while I was in that position. He is constantly asking me to wear tank tops and right shirts with no bra... Which I now gladly do!! Here's a cpl pix...
