Had en bloc implant removal 23 days ago. Each pectoralis major muscle is differently moving. Is something wrong? Before was equal. The right side above the boob seems to be indented and left going out like swollen. When I flex them, the right one moves my boob up and the left one not, it just makes a bulk on the top of the boob from the muscle. The muscle is also more coming into my arm when standing. Is this still swelling from the surgery or is something wrong?
