Capsular contracture

Hi girls,

I am 2 weeks post op and starting to panic that I’m getting capsular contracture. I had basically no pain after surgery so have been moving around probably more than I should have been. One of my boobs on my right hand side now constantly feels quite tight and feels like the implant is rubbing my body or something so it’s a bit uncomfortable. Does anyone know what this would be? Getting really worried, had anyone experienced this? I can’t feel the other implant at all.

I have the same just over 3 weeks post op and my right breast is painful still. I must admit I did move and do more than I should have. It’s almost like a pulling feeling inside the breast with sharp pain. I called the nurse and she said not to worry it’s just the healing still very early days. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hey – I was so paranoid about every twinge and pain after my surgery, I found after around 5 weeks everything started settle, try not to panic and give it time! I found the more I panicked and it was on my mind the more I was noticing it x

I was the same girls, no pain PO, using my arms as normal etc then suddenly week 3 my left boob was so painful with the same kinds of feelings like pulling and burning which lasted for a week then went away as quick as it came. Try not to worry about any pain that you get before 6 weeks because I also couldn’t see how I suddenly had pain and tightness at 3 weeks but now I’m nearly 6 weeks and feeling fine again with no concerns:) xx
