When one breast is more painful than the other, it may be an indication of a problem such as capsular contracture or hematoma. Alternatively it could be compression of a nerve. Discuss either with a plastic surgeon.
One beast can certainly be stiffer than the other during the healing process. Even long term one may feel a bit tighter as no two breasts are the same.
It is common for one operated breast to be more sore than another. At this early point in your recovery I would not worry about it. I fully realize that this being your third breast revision (?reason) the likelihood of recurrent problems is higher but it is really too soon to tell. To be safe pass it by your surgeon.
what procedure you had, or for what reason, I can not tell you much that is helpful. I would tell you to look for signs of infection (red, hot, tender, etc.) or fluid collections (one side much larger than the other). Of course, talk with you doctor.
Hi. This could be within the range of normal, specially if you have no extra swelling in your stiff breast. But I would see your plastic surgeon right away.
This is commonly referred to as "Mondor's disease" based on your description and is very common 2-3 weeks after surgery and tends to resolve. However, the level of pain you describle is somewhat unusual and merits attention.
Thank you for your question. Breast asymmetry is very common, particularly size asymmetry. If you are looking to decrease the asymmetry from one breast to another, then you have several options: 1) You can reduce the larger breast with liposuction or a traditional breast reduction technique 2)...
Yes, in particularly thin individuals, especially with subglandular placement ("over the muscle). However, it is best that you seek medical advice.
I agree with my colleagues that the implants are not likely a cause of your shoulder problem. However, a pectoralis muscle that is bound up by a capsular contracture can give you the sensation of tightness and pulling.
Slow leaks are possible but unlikely to be bilateral. We know that with time the ribs are remodeled by the constant pressure of the implant on the chest wall whch may account for loss of projection that you are observing.
No one knows for sure but the hypothesis is that it comes from the air when implants are placed or filled and therefore closed systems are recommended to decrease this potential source
