Right breast has more swelling after augmentation
I'm a 25-year-old athletic woman, 182 cms in height. I had breast augmentation 2 weeks ago. My plastic surgeon used 245 cc anatomical textured mentor implants, subglandular areolar incision. I thought the size is okay. I had tubular breasts and now my nipples are down. I still have more swelling at my right breast. Now, I'm afraid I may have capsular contracture. What would you advise? My surgeon advised some soft massages but her explanations never were enough for me.
