Tightness and Pulling Feeling a Week After Breast Augmentation?

September 13, 2013
Asked By:Lismarieg

I had a breast augmentation almost a week and a half ago. On my right side (my dominant side) about two days ago I noticed that there was a tightness as my pain went away that was almost like a pulling feeling when I was standing up straight or sitting with my shoulders back. The right breast is also slightly more swollen than the left, and I have read that these symptoms could be signs of a hematoma. Just wondering what doctors opinions on this would be. The right breast is also a bit firmer.
