Is my swelling in the right breast a concern? (Photo)

Dear golfgirl77,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

what is also important is when did the upper fullness appear?  Is it new relative to the surgery?  Most fullness is expected and asymmetric with the other side as the breast is a gland and can be different related to muscle fullness, fluid, cycle, and activity.  After 7000 implants, most of what i see is related to post breast implant surgery swelling and resolves somewhere between 6 and 12 weeks.  

Thank you for your pictures and questions. With large implants, there can be a significant amount of muscle spasm that can be severe. This can often take several months to settle completely and during that period, it can be normal for that to be asymmetrical. It is a good sign that the ultrasound was negative and perhaps it is time to repeat that to make sure that is still the case. If so, then it will probably be just a matter of time and you will need to be patient and keep in touch with your surgeon.Good luck!

Your doctor is on target in working with you to solve this mystery.Great that the first ultrasound was negative.You likely will need another one to re-evaluate this problem.

With ultrasound, your doctor can know if there are fluid needing been drainaged or is just swelling.

I'm sorry your recovery has not been as smooth as you'd like. But, having an ultrasound that did not find a collection of blood (hematoma) or fluid (seroma) is very encouraging that over the next 2 months that right side will calm down and be more like the left. I would sit tight for now and have regular checks with your surgeon. Best wishes

Hello. Thank you for your inquiry and congratulations on your surgery!
It is important to have an in-person medical assessment regarding this issue as it is difficult to determine virtually. Continue to update your doctor in the matter and follow their post-op protocol.
It is important to get cleared by your doctor before engaging in specific physical activity before the 3 month healing period has ended as the healing stage is crucial for healthy results.
It generally takes around 6 months to a year to see your final results. Your tissues will take time to relax and allow your implants to "Drop and Fluff" settling into place.
Our tips for recovery following breast augmentation are to wear a supportive sports bra for 3 months post-operative and refrain from lifting anything heavier than 10 lbs for 3 weeks as we don't want any strain at your incision sites. Make sure to keep the area of your stitches clean by cleansing with hydrogen peroxide daily. Showering is encouraged! But, no sitting in water for 2 weeks following surgery (no baths, hot tubs, pools etc.).

It sounds as though your surgeon is taking the appropriate steps to check for a cause of the swelling.  The most common cause would be bleeding which is what your Doctor is checking for. continue to follow-up with your surgeon.

Greetings,It may be prudent to return to your plastic surgeon for a re-evaluation. This may include repeating your ultrasound to rule out persistent fluid around the implant.Swelling, like you have experienced in your right breast, usually follows a course of slow improvement in the days/weeks after surgery.   Your plastic surgeon can give you options for care after an examination.Best Regards,
