I'm 18 days post op Breast Augmentation with a lift: Swelling on Sternum - How can I reduce it? (photos)

June 3, 2014
Asked By:ilovethe80sx in Santiago De Surco, PE

I am 18 days post op after BA with a lift. My implant's width is smaller than my BWD and under the muscle. I've had swelling over my sternum since surgery. My PS had me begin doing cleavage massages one day post-op, and that helped reduce the swelling a lot, but it is still there. I've been sleeping on my back at an incline and icing occasionally. I haven't really been worried about symmastia, but the swelling does make me nervous. How can I help the swelling go down?
