Breast Implant Hurting on Right Side Only What to Do?

I got my implants done by a great doctor down south although I live north. I only saw him once the day after surgery. I am at my two week post op today an I have experiencing tons of discomfort under my right breast. I also notice when massaging I can move the implant to feel more comfortable or more painful. What should I do? Will wear the band help with this at all? Also I am unsure if my breasts have "dropped" they are not super high and never have been. How will I know?

Nobody knows better than your doctor what was done and what might be going on with you. Make... more

2 weeks out from Breast Augmentation

Pain on one side, two weeks after breast augmentation may be trouble or may be normal. Best to contact your plastic surgeon. They have much more information and can ask you more detailed questions to help sort things out. Good luck. see video

Breast Implant Hurting 2 Weeks after Augmentation

Unilateral breast pain 2 weeks after surgery is not uncommon. If the breast is not larger than the other, then it is not likely a hematoma. If the pain can be made better by movement, does it feel better when pushed down or up? Also, provide pictures for more accurate answers.
