Asked By:AA2C in 30062 - Marietta, GA

I am 1 week post op of primary breast aug. 345cc/365cc high cohesive gel moderate profile L/R. Was in a lot of discomfort post op, a lot of swelling to sternum. Next day, was told I am very tight, first I’d heard that from surgeon. I specified that 350cc was too big when I tried sizers at preop. Insignificant comfort change since day 1 or 2 post op and a lot of tenderness to touch throughout ribs and sternum. Could implants that are too big be reason for continued discomfort at 1wk post.
