Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.At this point (2 days post-po) the swelling is normal.To reduce it, I recommend you perform daily lymphatic drainage massage therapy over the abdomen and wear a postoperative girdle from thigh to the breasts.Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. I am sorry to hear of the accidental injury to your breast but because of its acute change in appearance and increased swelling it would be best to see your surgeon to rule out possible issue such as a hematoma.  See your surgeon sooner than later.  Best wishes.

Your right breast looks more swollen in the photo.  This should be looked at ASAP.  This may have nothing to do with your dog but a hematoma has to be ruled out by the surgeon.  Good luckDr Vasisht

Thank you for your question. I'm sorry to hear of your concern. It is best to follow up with your plastic surgeon for an in-person examination. On-line consultants can not adequately address this question.

Any changes to your breast after breast augmentation should be best evaluated by your surgeon.  best Wishes,nana Mizuguchi, MD
