Abdominal bruising and swelling after breast augmentation. I'm 6 days post op. Advice? (photo)

February 19, 2018
Asked By:LipsyLipz in England, United Kingdom

Still in dressings, my abdomen started swelling a couple of days after op, left side more swollen then right. Today the swelling has gone down but I've come out in a big yellow bruise up my left side, not sure if you can see in the pic as it's quite faint. I rang my surgeons office yesterday when I first noticed the bruise, small and above my hip, and he said it's normal. I can't go to see him as he's far away.
