Is it normal for one boob to hurt way more then the other? (photos)

November 30, 2015
Asked By:Peanutboobies2 in San Diego, CA

If it wasn't for my left boob, I would have been off of percosets after day 2. Everyday it feels very tight and hard inside of my chest and is sometimes hard to breathe. It also hurts when I go for walks, and it feels better when I hold it in place. My right one is still hard but is not uncomfortable for me one bit. Is this normal for the first week post op?
