Genital swelling with a breast augmentation

should not happen and I cannot even speculate on the possibilities.  If you felt you were violated or have objective proof, I hope you had a check up to verify this.  Otherwise you should ask your doctor about it and see how he answers your question.

No, it is not normal to have genital swelling following a breast augmentation! I strongly advise you to consult a Board Certified Gynecologist, preferably one who has access to a 'rape kit' although, after 5 days I don't know how reliable the evidence will be.

Sorry to hear about your discomfort. Your description is a little odd. It’s hard to determine what it could be without an exam.
