Asked By:Kiki021

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?
