I had breast augmentation a little over a wk ago, the implants were placed submuscular, my left breast seems to be slightly more swollen then my right, and causes me much more discomfort than my right breast, especially when i wake up. I worry this may be a sign of a hematoma or something is wrong.

Answer: Please see your surgeon to be evaluated Hello there, this is a good question. If there is a signifiant size discrepancy, I would see your plastic surgeon as soon as possible to rule out a hematoma. When there is a hematoma, it will be fairly obvious and sometimes surgical intervention is required to prevent further complications. Minor asymmetries may result in swelling and ice packs and wearing a mermaid strap may be advantageous for you.

Answer: Signs of hematoma after breast augmentation Signs of a hematoma may include progressively increasing size of breast, pain, firmness, and, maybe, excessive bruising. It is not uncommon to have one side feel more swollen/tender. You may be sleeping on your left side during the night, which is causing fluid to accumulate more on the left with gravity pulling fluid to that side. It would be more reassuring if the pain/swelling improve throughout the day as you're out and about. Regardless, you should be following up with your surgeon to discuss these concerns.
