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!

Answer: Breast hematoma Thank you for your question. A hematoma can be very mild or very pronounced in its presentation. A mild one may induce slightly more swelling and increased bruising and will likely resolve on its own. A more severe hematoma can result in dramatic asymmetry in terms of swelling, feelings of light headedness due to loss of blood, severe bruising, and can be rapidly growing. If you every experience the latter, then I would contact your surgeon immediately and if you have trouble, you may even go to the ER. Larger hematomas often have to be surgically drained. If your doctor is not concerned, then I would consider another opinion from a board certified plastic surgeon in your area.
