2 days post op, one breast is significantly larger. Is this normal? Concerned that my doctor took too much out from my left side

Hello there,Thank you for your question!It is very early stage of healing.You have a lot of swelling at the moment and you won't be able to see a proper result for several more weeks. It's very common that one breast heals differently than the other one. You should definitely contact your surgeon and adress your concerns and be sure to follow all post-op instructions that he advised.Best of luck!Prof Dr Aydin Gozu

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Our goal as board certified plastic surgeons, is to create as close to symmetric breasts during breast reduction surgery, which may include removing more breast tissue from one side than the other. All women initially are slightly asymmetric and the way you swell can be asymmetric. However, most important is that your surgeon should examine you to make sure you do not have a collection of fluid (hematoma/seroma). This usually presents itself by significant size difference, hardening, and pain. We would be happy to see you, to help you in your healing process.
