Today I had my 3 month post op and according to my surgeon He doesn't think that I have cc. He explained the reason for the tightness and firmness is because I had less breast tissue on my right beast then my left, also my muscles were very tight. I also leaned after looking at my pre op photos was that my right breast was higher then my left as well to begin with. Funny, I never caught that lol My surgeon prescribed Singular 10mg 1x daily for 3 months to help relax my chest muscles. He explained that this sometimes help with the tightness but not cc since he doesn't believe I have that. He said that if anything it is too early to make that conclusion based on my pre op condition, however if no improvement within the next months by my 6 month post op then he would release the muscle and make the pocket a bit bigger. I feel so much more relieved, now all I was told to do is massage 3x's a day for 5 minutes and take the medicine. I hope that's all I need to do. I will keep everyone updated. Thanks gurls for all your help.

Well I'm almost 3 months post op on the 27th and already I think I am developing signs of cc. The left breast is nice and soft and already seemed to drop, soften and beginning to fluff, however the right boobie is still high, somewhat firm and painful at times. I have been aggressively massaging the life out of them hoping that things would change and that I would not have to have any revisions done. I contacted my Surgeon and I've made an appt with him this Fri the 21st. I am praying that he can shed some positive light to this nightmare. My right boob has gotten a bit softer, but no way does it feel normal. It feels almost like a ball in my chest and I'm so disappointed. I will keep everyone posted, wish me luck :/

Sorry to hear about the possible CC, I completely understand as I have it too. Let us know what the doc says and what options he gave you. If you are interested I could share what I have learned.

Sorry to hear about your situation as well. I would defiantly keep everyone informed of what I learn at my appt on Fri, but I'm almost positive it is cc. My breast today if anything seem so much worse. I have one boob that looks so normal and the right one is all high, firm and weird. :/ Please if you have any information that could help me I would sincerely appreciate it. Thank you

Hi Moey,
What I can tell you about caupsulectomy revision is 2 things: 1) regular capsulectomy only 1 in 3 women will get CC again. That is 33%. If you get it again after this procedure it goes up to 66%. 2) The BEST treatment with lowest recurrence rate is capsulectomy with strattice. That is removing the implant, removing the capsule, replacing with a NEW implant that is wrapped in strattice. This will reduce to less than 1%. Bacteria is number one cause, but not only cause of CC. it really is not known what exactly causes it. Strattice is very expensive though. I did ultrasound treatments, which has softened it up some and may have prevented it from getting worse. I am in holding until I can afford the capsulectomy. Hopefully within the year. Read my review for more info. I have a part I and a part II.

Oh man, I hope it's not CC. Have you read Makenzie's review? Something similar happened to her.

I am now 2 weeks and 3 days post op. I am not sure that I am happy with my results yet :/ I know it's way too early to make any firm decision about how the end results would be, but I can surely say that I am unhappy with the size that I am. I am also not very comfortable with the left breast incision scar. My right boob as far as scaring goes is almost unnoticeable already, however my left scar is concerning me very much because the scar is somewhat raised.. like a keloid. To make matter's worse my left boob is not at all up to speed with the right one. The left breast is still high and weird looking as where my right is almost perfect!
Urgh I knew what to expect going with this procedure and I am well aware that it takes months to a full yr for things to even out, but it's scaring me that the left breast is just not right!
I told my boyfriend already that I intend on going bigger because I'm not happy with the size I am. I am pretty much the same size I was when I was wearing those dreadful over padded bras my whole life. I think after healing I'll be a full C, but that's not at all what I want to be; although the dr. did tell me that a D might not be achieved bc I had little breast tissue to begin with. I don't understand it though, because when I breastfed my 3 children I was a full D!!! I was way bigger then I am now and I'm just feeling dissapointed right now.
