My right breast is considerably tighter and higher than my left. After a workout I noticed slight pain and overnight it pretty much swelled up. I have seen my surgeon and she believes it to be a Seroma. I am 4 months post op, saline breast implants. I am flying 16 hours (32 round trip) next week. Concerned that my breast will be under too much pressure. Everyday my breast feels tighter. How long can I go without having surgery to correct this?
