10 days ago I had a breast revision to open up a pocket on one side and increase size from 425cc to 550cc high profile silicone. Up until 7 days post op, I had a good 2 inch gap between the breasts, but then I felt exptreme tightness in the sternum and I even got more bruising above my breast (as seen).
