Do I have or am I developing symmastia? (photos)

ronigirl
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). I currently feel a burning sensation along the sternum. Did the muscle detach and is this symmestia or developing into symmesia? Or could I still be swollen? Thanks for replies.
