Asked By:danger177 in Sacramento, CA

I had 505 high profile silicone implants, under muscle done 4 weeks 5 days ago. I have two small children so I have been lifting them in small amounts since day 5, once I hit the 4 week mark I went back to normally lifting my children. Since I have had more pain, new bruising and slight swelling on my left side. My left is my dominant side so I do most of my lifting with this arm. The left implant has also been slower to drop, more painful and was the only side to have bruising after surgery.
