Round 2 Breast Augmentation: from bad to worse and now on to #3

11 years ago, when I was 18, I had saline breast implants placed under the muscle, taking me from a small a to a full c. Over the past few months, I began to notice some funny changes in my breasts and I thought one was slowly deflating, but it turned out that I was actually developing cc on the other side, so it made the breast that was normal look deflated by comparison. In any case, I had the revision done by a different doctor--(I moved from the West Coast to the East Coast)--about 3 weeks ago.
I was amazed at how easy the second surgery was and I was really pleased with how much better I felt, at first, but now, three weeks out, I am getting really worried. My breasts are hugely different sizes and I worried that I already developing CC on the side that had it before. Meanwhile, the breast that my doctor thinks looks normal looks very small and funny to me, but that could be because of what I am used to my breast being like. I thought I was going a tiny bit smaller and my doctor said that my new implants are only about a tablespoon smaller than my old ones, but at the moment, I just don't know what to think. I will upload photos and I welcome people to let me know their thoughts--(please be kind).
My doctor said I'm fine to ski this coming week,...

I'm sorry you've experienced capsular contracture. I know that's no fun.
Here's what some doctors say about how early CC can start. Though it could be different in the case of revision.
Here's what doctors say about the chances of CC happening again. Hope this helps! If you're able to post your photos, that would be great.
Fingers crossed that you heal beautifully!
