Post Breast Aug
You are experiencing what everyone does...tightness in the beginning. I presume the implants are under the muscle? Also, the implants being placed under the muscle means you need about 1-3 months to allow the muscle to stretch and the implants to drop. Your fever that early usually means you need to do deep breathing exercises. If you do not breathe deeply then the air sacs collapse in the lungs and it can stimulate a fever. Your surgeon should go over with you how to perform breast...

What swelling is normal after breast augmentation
Swelling and a weird shape are usually normal immediately after breast augmentation. Here are some normal things you may notice:
Swelling in the pec muscle may make the upper part of your breasts bulge. This improves over the first 1-2 weeks.
The implants may sit high early after your procedure. This can cause the upper part of your breasts to feel firm and the lower parts to feel softer. The implants usually settle over the first 1-6 weeks.
Weird shape because of...

Breast Augmentation Post op Day 6
You are very early out from surgery so the symptoms you are experiencing are normal within the recovery period. The firmness you are feeling at the top of the breast is most likely a combination of the implant and swelling from surgery. This should improve over the next couple of weeks. Your implants are higher up on your chest, so over the next couple of months the implants will drop and fill out the inferior pole of your breasts for a more natural appearance...

Post op breast augmentation
Your symptoms are very normal 6 days after surgery. I tell my patients around 40% of the swelling will resolve by 3-4 weeks. Another 40% will resolve by 3-4 months and the last 20% takes a little longer, around 6 months.

It is quite common to experience asymmetric pain, pressure, swelling etc. These symptoms should resolve gradually over the course of the next...

When Will I Start Feeling Less Pressure on my Breasts?
The tightness should gradually improve a little each day until it in no longer an issue.
The implants are high riding, which is quite common early after surgery. As the pectoral muscles relax, the implants will settle into place for the overwhelming majority of patients. The upper pole will empty out, the lower pole will fill.
99 degrees is pretty close to normal. Report any fevers promptly to your surgeon. Report also any concerns such as this one that you have described in...

Breast pressure after augmentation
Thank you for providing the pictures to accompany your question. While there is no substitute for an examination, and it is impossible to give precise advice without an exam, I can offer you some thoughts.
You are very early in your recovery course. It is not uncommon for the implants to drift upwards in the immediate post operative period. This creates the shape that you now have, as well as the firmness at the top of your breasts, As the implants gradually descend and settle, they will...
