Answer: Post op bruising It is perfectly normal to have post-op bruising following any surgery, including a breast augmentation. That being said, definitely mention this to your plastic surgeon to see if it needs to be further evaluated. Best of luck. What you would worry about is a hematoma or post-op bleed.

Answer: Bruising can occur And most often is related to surgery or the injection of local anesthetic. This resolves in 2-3 weeks.

Answer: Recovery after breast surgery It is normal for one side to heal differently from another. Swelling and bruising post-operatively is expected, however-- it is best to address all of your post-op and recovery questions to your operating surgeon during your follow up visits.

Answer: I got bruises & swelling on my side after Breast Aug. Is it normal? Difficult to give you good advice based on the photographs; your plastic surgeon will always be your best resource. Having said that, some degree of asymmetric bruising/swelling is to be expected; your photographs do not appear too concerning to me. Again, for the best advise and/or reassurance, best to address your questions/concerns directly to your plastic surgeon. Best wishes.

Answer: Is It Normal To Have Bruising & Swelling On One Side Only 4 Days After A Breast Augmentation? The short answer to your question is yes.Rarely do both breasts have exactly the same forces applied to them to create the space necessary to place an implant. Also, try as your plastic surgeon will, he or she can't stop every little capillary from bleeding after surgery, therefore one or both sides may have bruising, and bruising often leads to swelling. At 4 days, the bruising and swelling you display in the pictures you sent do not worry me, however only your plastic surgeon knows exactly what went on during surgery. Therefore, a phone call to alert him or her as to what is going on will give you the best answer to your question, relieve your concerns, and help your plastic surgeon take the best care of you.As Board Certified plastic surgeons, we not only care about the surgery but also that critical, early post operative period. We, as you, want outstanding results and the more information you can give us day or night in that early post operative period, the better we can help you to achieve the best possible breast augmentation.
