Sudden swelling of breast 1 year after implant augmentation surgery

The sudden swelling and pain is concerning. This sounds hormonal and may be the first sign of pregnancy. Issues about early infection and capsular contracture should be evaluated.

Swollen breasts

At one year out it is unusual to have these symptoms.  It soundd like you should follow closely with your doctor. Are you sure that you do not have an infection or a capsular contracture?
