Unfortunately, it looks like I have "capsular contracture" on my left side after my BA of 2014. I have 371cc Allergan Natrelle Smooth silicon for both sides. Left side didn't drop as right side did. Now left side is so farm and started to be painful sometimes.

I want to fix it and am thinking to go with bigger size.

Hi I have capsular contracture in my right breast for the 2ND TIME! Had a blood clot post capsulectomy supposedly causing second capsule :(...long story short I'm due for my 2nd capsulectomy and am thinking about going bigger. Right now I'm 590cc Silicone Mentor UHP. I'm petite at 125lbs but tall at 5'11! Let me know what you decide to do I could use a little help deciding myself. I feel like after a year and a half with an amazing looking left side and a hard round right I may as well go up a size and have them both healing at the same time. Really struggling with this!!

I went with 485cc on both side. I really liked my right side but wish it could've been little bigger. So 100cc bigger than last time. I like them so far :)

Can't tell yet. So far so good

I have the same thing, same side, etc. I wish that there was something that could be done, for low cost to fix. Any suggestions?
July 6, 2016
I am going through it for the second time as well...this time is worse. I hate it
July 6, 2016
Really???? I am so sorry to hear that. I just hate CC!!! And hope there is SOMETHING that it could've been done not to have it. I hated my hard left side

Actually, I said that it was my left, but it's not. It's my right side....lol. my breasts look sooo similiar to yours, I'm 400CC with the high profile gel silicone. I called MENTOR today and they urged me to get an MRI, in the event there a rupture...if it is a rupture, and NOT CC, then they will pay for the redo...but I have a feeling it's CC, again...it hurts so much this time. Worse than before. I noticed it happening 2 years to the day of having them redone...if it's CC, I hope that I can find a compassionate surgeon that can do the one for a reasonable cost.

I am petite like you, but this high low soft hard breast situation drives me crazy. I put tissue in my bra on the uneffected side, under my breast so that it pushes the other one upward, making it look like they are perfect...it's a little trick that I came up with so I could almost feel normal. Try it, it works...at least in the meantime. ....

Plastic surgeons don't class these as "natural looking" breasts. They are to round and have a upper pole fullness natural breast don't so be careful what you tell your surgeon as you and your surgeon will have two totally different views on what you want your outcome to be, it's best to just show photos and say I want them too look like this. I learnt that consultation after consultation when I kept saying "natural" when actually the look I was going for wasn't natural at all.

Definitely I took hundreds and made sure the surgeon looked at every single one and he totally got the look I was going for and that was at my third consultation with the third surgeon. I truly hope you get what your looking for. I bet they will look amazing when done!!! :)
