I'm right handed so i'm thinking that breast looks larger due to swelling and use and not being able to fully relax. I'm thinking once it finally goes into the pocket and reaches final position it will be a bit smaller in size and will match the other breast. Is that wrong to assume? I'm still early out from surgery at almost 6 weeks. I had some prior asymmetry, but i'm just wondering if using my right hand dominantly will make it heal faster or slower than other side. LOVING my results so far!

Answer: Does the dominant side require more healing time?
Breast augmentation can cause a lot of swelling.when the implants are big in size and behind the muscle, they tend to be high on the chestand the swelling make the chest swollen as if the implants touch, like the symastia.no worries, it is all early findings after breast augmentation
Thank you for your question. It is typical to have some tingling or numbness soon after breast augmentation surgery. Lidocaine patches will tend to make the nipples numb and should be only used short term. This will generally improve and resolve on it's own with time.
Thank you for asking about your breast augmentation preparation.I would stop exercising your arms a week before your breast augmentation. Sore muscles are more likely to go into spasm and give your more pain afterwards. Hope this helps. Best wishes. Elizabeth Morgan MD PHD FACS Board Certified ...
