Call your doctor!

One thing we tell our breast patients is that they have to be their own best advocate. If they notice any heat, firmness, swelling, redness or anything in their breasts that makes them uneasy at all, they need to call us sooner rather than later.

Don't wait to see if it will go away by itself. Don't think you're being a pest. Don't allow a small problem to become a big problem. You really owe it to yourself and your surgeon to go in and be seen right away. What you're experiencing is NOT normal, but you already have kind of know that or you wouldn't be as concerned as you are. Now you just need to make the call and work with your surgeon to determine what the problem is and how to fix it.

Good luck!
