Left breast has reduced in swelling except for a hard and painful baseball sized knot next to the cleavage. There is little to no swelling in the right breast. What can I do to reduce swelling.
Answer: Breasts Healing Asymmetrical After BA Thank you very much for your question and congratulations on your recent breast augmentation. At eight weeks post-op, you are still in the early recovery stage. Swelling will take four to six months to resolve, sometimes up to a full year. It is common to find that one breast will soften and settle faster than the other. This is normal and the breasts should become symmetrical over time. I recommend being patient during your recovery, giving yourself at least six months before making any assessment of your results. However, if you have any further concerns or you notice any unusual changes in your breasts, contact your operating surgeon for their advice.

Answer: Why is one breast still swollen in a knot to the size of a baseball? The rest of the breast/other breast softened 8 weeks post Thank you for your questions. Without a physical exam or at least a photo, it is going to be very hard to give you specific advice. The area of concern could be some ongoing swelling that will improve with time or it could be something else that needs to be evaluated and treated. I suggest you see your plastic surgeon for an exam and discussion.Good luck!

Answer: Breast swelling It's hard to know what is going on without examining you or seeing a photo. You could be experiencing normal swelling or other conditions such as fluid/blood buildup. Consider seeing your surgeon soon, so that he can guide you through this. Good Luck.
