Strange Pain and High Implant After Breast Augmentation

I had breast augmentation 2 months ago, and I have a very strange pain on my right breast. I really don't know how to describe it; it feels heavy and very uncomfortable. Also, my left breast is higher than the right. Is that normal? Will it eventually drop? I went from an A to a C and I got saline. I'm extremely worried that I will need surgery again.

It may just be a part of the healing process and, if so, he/she will have some suggestions as to how you can ease the pain. It is not unusual for one implant to be slightly higher than the other in the early postoperative course. Often, the breasts are at different heights pre-operatively... more

It is time to see your surgeon

Forums like this are great for trying to help ladies having questions after their surgery, but nothing helps more than a visit to your personal surgery. There is no surgeon that can diagnose what is going on with the limited information that you gave. Are implants above or below the muscle? What incision was used? What size and style of implants?
