I am 10 days post op with 350 uhp silicon under the muscle. My left breast swelled up immediately after surgery and remains very swollen, sore, and about an inch higher than the right. I did not have any significant bruising I either breast. My plastic surgeon did not seemed concerned about it and just told me that I should take 600mg of Advil every 6 hours. He also does not recommend massage. Is this size difference acceptable or does it look like something more?

Answer: Ten days post breast augmentation, uneven swelling. Thank you for the photos. You are still very early in your post operative course. Breast implants tend to start dropping into place after 3 to 4 weeks. They usually will get to their final position in 6 to 12 months. One will usually drop faster than the other, and the shape may go through changes. Please follow your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon's post op instructions. For example; we like message, but some surgeons will have you wait, or do it in a specific manner. Please also let them know your thoughts and concerns.

Answer: Swelling following breast augmentation Hi thereThank you for your kind enquiry.It is very difficult to tell is this is significant. You look as though you have a very nice aesthetic breast with a good early result but admittedly there is more swelling on your left breast.It is completely normal to have asymmetric swelling following an operation and this is very common with augmentation surgery. Please do give it time, wear a support bra and seek advice from your surgeonGood luck!
