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 and Tightness Normal After Breast Augmentation This is very common, particularly with sub muscular placement. Most bruising and swelling will resolve within two weeks of your surgery. You may also feel discomfort and pain, which is generally well controlled by pain medications. Tingling is usually an indication that the sensation in your breasts/nipples is returning and that is a good thing. As your body adjusts to the implants, the tightness you're experiencing will also resolve. This is usually by the fourth month.

Answer: Swelling and Tightness After Breast Augmentation At one week post-op, this is a very common outcome and in your case is most likely quite normal. As a patient's body adjusts to breast implants, especially those placed under the muscle, some swelling and tightness is to be expected. This tends to improve as your healing progresses. If you have any concerns, though, contact your surgeon or other staff you have interacted with at your surgical facility. They can advise you further or set up a follow up appointment to make sure everything's going according to plan.

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.
