Extreme bruises from Breast Augmentation, is this a hematoma? (photos)

NCLadyInJourney
My surgery went well but I noticed a small bruise on third day after the surgery that become bigger. Now I'm nervous that I may have hematoma,capsular contracture or was it from the surgical bra I was wearing? I travelled to Florida from NC for the operation and I'm back in NC now so I don't know what I should do! Should I be alarmed or is this normal 7 days after surgery. The right breast has lesser bruising and feels softer while the left one is hard and a little pain to touch around bruises
