Why is my right breast implant harder than my left? 4 days post-op.

June 17, 2017
Asked By:alexandra fernandez in Flagstaff, AZ

For the past week, the right breast has been hurting when I lay on my stomach or when I touch it beneath the areola. When doing breast exams, the right breast/implant feels a lot firmer and is a bit uncomfortable when I'm examining myself. I had a mammogram in April and everything was normal. Sometimes, I'll get a shooting pain out of nowhere during the day. What can be wrong?
