I would like a second opinion: I feel this is a hematoma but the office says that it’s fine, what are your thoughts? (Photos)

It does appear that you have a hematoma if the breast. I would take you to surgery and explore the area even if I wasn’t sure you have a hematoma. If you go to surgery and no hematoma is found there is no harm done. Best to be certain in a case like this.

Hello and thank you for your question and sharing your photos. There is a significant size difference and one breast is larger. Drainage from breast augmentation incision 9 days post op is concerning. You could well have a hematoma. You should see your surgeon ASAP. Best,

Hello, thank you for your question. A hematoma after surgery may need to be drained surgically or can be observed. It really depends on the size and location of the hematoma, and whether it appears to be compromising your overall results.
