I Am in Severe Pain After my Breast Augmentation - Is It a Hematoma?

February 20, 2011
Asked By:Renee1979 in Brisbane

I had a Corrective BA 6 days ago & have since been in severe pain on the left, to the point that I cannot lift my left arm, my whole side & under my arm pit are swollen terribly and am having sharp shooting pains when I breath. I am unable to get out of bed, pain killers are not helping and I really need a second opinion. I really do not know what to do or who to talk to about this. The surgeon said to stop stressing and has wiped his hands of it. Pls Help!
