Breast augmenation and swelling
You did not mention which incision appraoch was used for your augmentation. If you had them done through the armpit., it may take a while for that swelling to come down.

Breast augmentation
You are still in the immediate post-op period. If the pain increases, and/or the nodes do not go away, then please see your plastic surgeon.

Inflammed lymph nodes following breast augmentation with implants
The arm pits oare full of lymph nodes that become larger in response to injury and are indicative of the bodies inflammatory response which varies from one individual to another. Typically the inflammatory period of wound healing is greatest during the first 4 days but healing is very active for 6 weeks.
