Breast Swelling?
Thank you for the question.
Your description is very concerning that is most consistent with a seroma or infectious fluid collection. Immediate evaluation by a plastic surgery is indicated.

Breast implant swelling and pain one year after surgery
At a year out from surgery, what you have described is very unusual and NOT part of a normal healing process. Please contact your surgeon ASAP for an evaluation.

Swelling in breast one year after surgery
Rapid swelling is indicative of a hematoma. This is unusual one year post op but no impossible. The next most likely thing that could cause your symptoms would be an infection with seroma formation. You should see your plastic surgeon ASAP to have this evaluated. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.

Swelling and pain a year after breast augmentation

Swelling one year after a BA
First of all, don't panic. You most likely have a seroma or collection of fluid around your implant. You could also have a hematoma or possibly an infection, but whatever it is it should be evaluated soon by a plastic surgeon (hopefully your original one). All of these things are highly unusual so far out from surgery, but they do occur. Best of luck.

This particular tumor has a very high cure rate. There...

Breast swelling one year after implants
Swelling and tenderness in one breast a year after breast augmentation is most often caused by a fluid collection called a seroma. They can occur after strenuous exercise or strain, and especially prone to happen with textured breast implants. A seroma can lead to breast infection so is you feel unwell you should see your surgeon right away. In the meantime, rest and a snug bra may help.
Best of luck,
