My implants were placed about 2 1/2 weeks ago. The drains were removed about 4 days ago, and since, I have a lot more pain on my left side. The lower part of my left butt cheek and hip are in so much pain, and the implant is slightly lower than the one on the right. Is this because the implant is too low? Will the pain get better? I saw the surgeon, and he said there might be a small seroma, but my body appears to be absorbing the fluid.
