As long as there is not any marketing asymmetry in your breasts, it is unlikely that your son any real damage. It is not surprising that being struck in your surgical site so soon after surgery is causing you pain, for but it should resolve over the next 1 to 2 days. If pain is not tolerable, then it would be a good idea to be evaluated by your operative surgeon to rule out any major issues.

Although you should get chacked by your Surgeon, I think you will be fine.
If your breast do not get swollen too much and the shape is ok, I am sure the pain will go away in a fee days. Regards
