Hello mummy1,
I’m sorry for the adverse symptoms you are experiencing. Significantly more swelling and/or pain on one side is not typical. Contact your plastic surgeon promptly if you have severe pain not responding to medication, the incisions are showing signs of infection such as redness that spreads away from the incision to the adjacent breast skin and is exquisitely tender or if you develop fever and chills. Your plastic surgeon has intimate knowledge about the procedure performed and detailed familiarity about your potential complications and how to properly treat them. With appreciation, Dr. De La Cruz.

It is possible you could have a normal inflamed vein under the breast. Only an in person evaluation by your surgeon could give you a definitive answer.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

Hello and thank you for your question.   I would make an appointment with your PS , sounds like you may have capsular contracture but without an exam it's difficult to say.
