Answer: Is it normal to have one breast significantly more swollen than the other after breast augmentation surgery? Thank you for your question and for sharing your photograph. Based on your picture it appears that your results are normal for two days after surgery. It is not uncommon to initially have one breast be a bit more swollen or higher than the other. If this difference has remained constant, and you are not having additional symptoms such as increased pain and bruising, all is likely well. If these symptoms worsen see your surgeon for an in-person evaluation.

Answer: Is it normal to have one breast significantly more swollen than the other after breast augmentation surgery? Some difference in swelling/bruising is commonly encountered after breast surgery. However, significant and/or increasing asymmetry may be a sign of a complication. Always, best to check with your own plastic surgeon when these types of concerns arise. Obviously, he/she knows your situation best and is ultimately responsible for your care. Best wishes.

Answer: Breast surgery post op At two days you may only have more swelling on one side or if your implants are under the muscle, one side may have a little more spasm. However, I would contact your surgeon to make sure you do not have a hematoma.

Answer: Uneven breasts Early after surgery one breast can be more full and tighter than the other. Usually it's simply different swelling and muscle tightness. This will change as time passes. As long as it isn't getting increasingly big and more painful than the other side everything should be fine. If it does change significantly call your surgeon to discuss
