I am one week post-op from my Breast Augmentation. I am 18 years old. I started with a 32AA, and got 250CC unders, crease incision. I have had some pain on my left said these past few days and thought it was in my stomach.
I finally realized it was actually directly underneath my left incision that is wear the pain is coming from. I touched that area and it is swollen, about half an inch thick and the length of the incision going in the same direction. It is not red, and doesn’t look infected; I have no fever or signs of infection.
However it hurts a lot when I move around and of course when I touch it. What could this be? You can’t really tell it’s inflamed by looking at it just when you touch it. But it hurts and you can definitely tell it is lumpy and puffy when you touch it.
I agree with Dr. Kasden, this sounds like a healing ridge, since there are no signs of infection. The other possibility is that this could be bulging of the implant, if the infra-mammary fold was partially released at the incision site. I recommend that you return to your Plastic Surgeon and have him examine the swollen area.
