Why has my breast become more sensitive and uncomfortable after the first-week post-op? Do I need to worry?

emilyann82
I am one week post op (325cc over muscle) and all week I have felt absolutely fine, I haven't had to take any painkillers at all. However last night I went out and feel as though I may over done it. I wasn't silly but now one boob especially is very very sensitive and the stitch is hurting, like a stinging throbbing pain (no leaking). It also feels like it has moved (maybe I'm being paranoid) but it hurts now when I move in certain positions. They also look different compared to 2/3 days ago.
