I had breast augmentation removal (under the breast crease) 13 days ago with capsulectomy. Had drains for 7 days then removed. I drained 30ml,18,10,10,6,3,1respectively in the LEFT breast so they were no longer necessary. 4 days after drains were removed LEFT breast started swelling under the armpit first, along the side of my back, side of breast now on top and under breast. Got an ultrasound done and radiologist said breast tissue is swollen with possible lymphedema. What to watch out for?

Thank you for your question. It is ok at any time to change your mind about an elective procedure. Call your surgeons office or set up another appointment to talk further.
In my experience, the reverse of what you say is true, ie the result of removing submuscular implants looks better as the breast tissue itself has not been stretched out as much, is has maintained its attachments to the muscle.
