I'm 5 weeks post breast reduction. Last night a friend hugged me very hard squeezing my breasts. Will there be damage?

Asked By:nadD in Great Britain, GB

The force used was considerable and he was squeezing me so tight I couldn't push him off. I didn't feel any pain at the time but I had been drinking a lot. This morning I have some discomfort and tenderness, especially to the right breast. There is no bruising and the scars look fine. My concern is there be damage internally that could have an adverse effect on firmness nor shape as a result?
