I'm 17 days post op breast lift/sub muscular augmentation and tripped on steps. Should I be worried?

ymartin26
I tripped going up the steps and landed on my right arm. My right breast looks and feels slightly swollen. I've been feeling pinching sensations here on the entire breast ever since. Also, the muscle (I think) feels slightly tighter ever since. I've read about capsular contractures. Am I heading down this road because of the fall? Will this feeling eventually go away? Is the muscle just tense? Is there something else I should be worried about ?
