Is It Normal for 1 Breast to Be More Swollen & Painful Than the Other 1 Week Post-Op?

mollyj
I had breast augmentation done this past Monday, so im 6 days post-op, my right seems like its almost healed and not much pain at all but my left breast is still very painful!! I have shooting & burning pains & it is also a little more swollen than the right? It even makes my left arm feel numb all the way to my fingertips at times!!
