How long does hematoma swelling from implants last?

JMaree90
I receieved breast augmentation on Feb 28, 2 days later I had a hematoma in my right breast and went back in for surgery to remove it. That was March 2 and my right breast is still considerably larger and higher up than the other. Is this normal? How long does the swelling usually take to go down after a hematoma is removed?
