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.
