“Saline Breast Implant Recovery (475cc, Periareolar, Under Muscle)”

I had my saline breast implants done exactly a week ago and they were placed under the muscle through the areola. They both were filled to a 475cc.

My left breast is already feeling fine and the swelling has gone down. My left breast, however, has more bruising (especially around the nipple) and is higher up on my chest.It also has numbness near the bottom. Beside the right breast on the ribs and below my armpit is very painful and hard to the touch. I am hoping this goes down soon and wondering if there is anything that can help the hardness and swelling go down? I also would like to know if this is normal. Thank You:)

I am so happy that I went through this surgey. There was some pain that was a bit uncomfortable, but I think I will find it to be all worth it in the end.

Is it normal for the right breast to be more swollen after breast augmentation? -- Updated on Sep 21, 2009: Why is the right breast more swollen that the left after BA? -- Updated on Oct 2, 2009: It has been just over 2 weeks since my surgery. I am still very worried about my right breast as it is much higher and appears smaller than my right. Does this look normal after 2 weeks? Will this breast meet with the other in the next few months? Or should I be worried? My surgeon is on vacation at this time.

It has been almost a year now and they are now settled and even. When the doctor says time - he means it. Scars are almost invisible as well. Massage is very important!! I am very very happy with them and eventually would like to go bigger :)
