I had breast lift and breast implants 16 days ago through areolar incision. My right side is great, but my left is still swollen and hurts a bit. Is this normal? Do you see this a lot? Do I need to have it drained or will it be okay soon? I know everyone is different, but I have to be in a honeymoon in 5 weeks in Aruba, and I dont want to be hurting too much then. Thank you.
You should be seen ASAP! There might be a fluid collection causing thie size change, infection, or post operative swelling. If the left breast was larger before surgery, this might be a proportional change. An ultrasound will detrmine if there is fluid there and can be drained at the same time.
