Ask Dr. Grover – Newport Beach Breast Implants Surgeon Q & A

Could my Breast Implants be Encapsulated?

I’ve had saline implants for a year now. I kept telling my doctor that it felt as if the left one had never even “set in” and that both feels unnatural. He brushed this off. I have an appointment next week…Now they are saying it is probably encap. Does this sound right? They are both so hard I now turn my body to give a hug! The right side is somewhat softer, but nowhere near others I have talked to.

It is likely you may have a capsular contracture if you feel that your breasts are quite hard and do not appear as though they have ‘settled’.  The other possiblity is that your saline implants were overfilled significantly more than is recommended.  This would also cause your implants to feel quite hard.
