Hello! I am about two weeks post op. I went from a 36g to 36b/c (unsure of the size due to how early it is). I am getting tugging/pulling sensation under my left breast causing pain from the incision line to about two inches below. Is this a normal sensation in the healing process or is this something I would need to bring up at at my next appointment? Besides that I have no issues at all. I have slight swelling in the left breast. I am 23,5",135lbs,non smoker or drinker. Thanks for your time!

Thank you for your question. What you are experiencing is the normal reaction to surgery. Your body releases a hormone called ADH that makes you hold onto fluid. This usually lasts for 4-5 days, then stops. You should begin to urinate the excess fluid off. Best of luck
