I had breast implants 3 and half weeks ago...my right breast is softer than my left one, and now the left one looks a little saggier than the right one, the right one is some how hard but not rock hard, i have been doing my massages and everything just like the surgeon recomended.....i'm supposed to go see my surgeon next week but in the mean time this is really bothering me....is my left breast implant getting encapsulated?? why is a little harder than the other one?? why is one of my breast sagging a little more than the other one....BTW i got 420cc (saline)

It is too early after surgery to determine if the left side is actually developing capsule contracture. I have seen many patients at this early stage return in several months with resolution of early firmness. I am sure that your surgeon will confirm this.
