Healing of the breast

[sunflower4u]

Hi,

I got a breast augmentation over 3 weeks ago.  My right side was healed in a matter of 2 weeks.  My left feels tight....and not as relaxed as other.  I am doing the messaging.............every day 3 times...

Is this normal?....  Is the tightness swelling?   I am worried that it's perhaps capsular?  If not,...  How long before you can determine it is a capsular...?

Soemtimes there is more tightness on one side.  With massaging and exercising (I personally favor upper body work outs to use the pectoralis muscles and self massage the implants), over time the tightness will likely disappear.  If the problem persists after three or four months, then I classify it as capsule contracture.

So it's normal for me to feel the tightness on my left?....  Cause the right one is very good...looks normal and natural.  My left doesn't look abnormal for now......just tighter.  I notice in the morning, it feels more soft....but still tender.  But can it be me wearing wire bras?  Do u think it's irritating it?

Also the pain in left breast starts on the side...and goes to where they poke 1 whole to add the fluid before the procedure.  I was looking at my date of the surgery and it's actually going on 5 weeks.  So all is normal?

I also remember that my left was the only side that had bruising on the side of my breast.  And the procedure was also done under the muscle.
