I had breast implants put in 7 days ago. My breasts have become more swollen over the last three days and feel very hard; no pain, just tightness, aching/tingling. Is it normal to have these symptoms several days after the procedure? Most of the swelling is in the upper chest, above the nipple. My implants are under the muscle, 250cc Silicone gel.

Answer: Swelling varies from patient to patient Swelling and tightness are very normal after breast augmentation. It varies from patient to patent. Some have so little swelling their results at 1 week look as if it has been 6 months. Others have swelling which can last months. It is dependent on your body and its ability to heal after surgery, and how well you follow directions and take care of yourself. If you push too hard, you will make the swelling worse, and it will last longer.

Answer: Is Swelling & Tightness Normal After Augmentation swelling and tightness after breast augmentation is common. Much has to do with the size of the implant and he extent of the surgical dissection. Larger implants stretch out the tissues more and result in larger and more pronounced temporary swelling. The tissue relaxes over time. Submuscular implant placement swells the pectoral muscle as well the breast tissue. taking arnica and restricting salt intake help to limit the swelling process.
