Pain in Left Breast After Tuberous Breast Reconstruction?

Hey, I'm glad I found this site and am hoping for some positive feedback. My surgeon was wonderful and really gave my tuberous breasts a natural shape. He placed my implants over the muscle but under the breast, and scored some tissue. My right breast feels perfectly fine. My left however, is in a little more discomfort.. but not so painful that I need meds. Also, when I move the implant around in its pocket, it seems to move a little less than on the right, but nothing drastic. Is this normal?
