Tender touch/pain under boob 3 weeks after breast augmentation normal?

teepee112
I'm three weeks post b/a. Everything seems to be fine, scars healing well and swelling has significantly went down. However, the bottom of my left breast hurts if the sports bra is on for too many hrs and even to touch it's tender and hurts. Is this normal? The right breast is not giving me any issues at all. Also I am a lefty i'm not sure if that plays any part.
