I'm 2 weeks post-op Breast Augmentation and Mastopexy. Is it common for breasts to feel heavy, super swollen and numb?

Riverchamp
I had a breast augmentation and mastopexy incision around the areola. My breasts look amazing and I'm thrilled with the results. It's 2 weeks post-op and the sharp shooting intermittent pain has definitely stopped. Now my breasts feel really heavy and more swollen. Basically a constant throbbing, heaviness and discomfort. Is there is anything I can do to relieve the swelling, throbbing and discomfort? Also having a very hard time sleeping on my back. Any suggestions?
