I had a breast augmentation 8 days ago. Yesterday I fell down a small flight of stairs. Should I be worried? (photos)

Asked By:Ginabambi in Beverly Hills, CA

I fell mainly on my legs, but put my hands out to brace myself.Shortly right after I could feel my left breast start swelling. My questions is what complication could arise from my fall? Will a hemotoma form later? Can this cause a capsol to form down the road? Why did my breast swell so quickly? What should I or shouldn't I do as of this state... ( I have attached the picture right after the fall and you can tell one is much more swollen then the other) Thank You for your time :)
