Can one breast be more sore and swollen than the other 8 days post op after BA?

All breasts are different right to left before and after any surgery. They also heal and feel differently over weeks to months.Keep close follow up with your plastic surgeon during this time for instructions.

Thanks for your question!
Most likely everything is fine, but you should reach out to your surgeon with your concerns. Best wishes!

It is not uncommon to more pain/swelling to one breast vs the other at this point.  If pain continues or does not improve, please follow up with your plastic surgeon for further evaluation.  Best of luck!

The breasts early after breast augmentation can feel and look different due to differences in muscle spasm, size of breast implants, differences in width of chest wall, etc.  In the absence of hematoma, seroma, etc.  this can be normal.Follow up with your PS if pain continues.

One side always hurts more than the other so I wouldn’t worry too much about that however if you think you did something wrong and may have injured yourself then I’d suggest booking an appointment with your surgeon to be examined. 

In view of the fact you were reviewed at 1 week with no obvious concerns, it would be very unlucky to then have a problem subsequent to this. However, I am sure there is 24 hour cover at the hospital so it might be wise just to pop along for your reassurance and check all is OKGood luck!

Hello and thank you for the question. If one breast is significantly more swollen than the other, there is some concern for hematoma. I would recommend that you see your surgeon for an evaluation. Best,

It’s normal to have swollen and tense breast 5 days after the surgery but agressive pain and a quickly increased volume of one breast it me be a Hematoma. Use the compression and apply cold packs and call you plastic surgeon for proper assessment 

Yes...it is possible and common to have different feelings/sensations in one breast compared to another after breast augmentation.  You should not keep the information from your surgeon and continue to work with him/her to give you the best opportunity for an excellent outcome.  Best wishes.Wirth Plastic Surgery

Thank you for your question. It is not unusual for one breast to feel different than the other following breast augmentation surgery. The differences in discomfort and swelling should improve over time as your implants drop and your swelling improves. Follow the postop recommendations provided by your plastic surgeon.If your symptoms do not improve over the next 6-8 weeks, I would recommend seeing your board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation.Good luck!
