I had extended TT sniff anchor lift yesterday 1Pm. My left boob is much harder than right. Why? Normal or blood clot?

I appreciate your question.



The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.  Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery.



 



Best of luck!

Here is the basic info I provide to patients regarding post-operative healing ad the breast lift:

The patient will go home in a bra or with only light dressings
over the incision lines. Sutures are dissolvable but an ending knot, if present
is removed within 1-2 weeks. Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral
medication. Light activities may be started in 7-10 days.

If you find after those first ten days that you are still concerned with your healing process, then it would be good to visit your surgeon for a follow-up and have the area examined to make sure that healing is going well. Good luck.

Thanks for you questions.  If one breast is significantly harder/larger and/or more painful than the other the day after your procedure it is quite possible that you have a hematoma.  It is also quite possible that you just have more swelling on that side.  Call your plastic surgeon immediately and review your symptoms with them, possibly send photos and be seen immediately if that is what they recommend.  If you are unable to get in touch with your surgeon, go to the emergency room closest to you for immediate evaluation.  Best wishes during your recovery!
