Asked By:Littlesea in Newcastle Upon Tyne, GB

I am looking for advice please, i know it's difficult without examination but based on my photos does it appear like i could have had a seroma/hematoma after my breast aug? I was in excruciating pain straight after my surgery, i was very swollen but it decreased day 3, on day 5 the swelling returned badly but only on one side, both breasts very hot to touch and severe pain continued, bandages were removed on day 7 by a nurse but replaced as i had blistering, could this be a complication?

Victor Ferrari, MD, FACS says:

Sorry to hear about your asymmetry.   It is difficult to make a diagnosis just by looking at your picture.  Though rare at 19 weeks, it is possible that you have a capsular contracture.  Your PS should evaluate you in person and make recommendations such as massaging techniques, Singulair, Vita...

"Drop and fluff" refers to the fact that as the skin stretches and the muscles relax, the implants move down and out slowly – about 1 percent a day. It’ll be about six weeks before they even begin to settle down,...

Fever and feeling faint after long hot day and taking kids to swimming practice. Day 4 post-op, over muscle implants
Charles Nduka, MD says:

At 4 days post op you would have fatigued your body too much given the situation that you are still healing from surgery. A schedule for an appointment is never a bad idea. You should always follow up with your surgeon to prevent any complications.
