How do I know if I have symmastia or just swelling after surgery?

Asked By:lmgage23

I had a breast augmentation about a week ago? I am a very small framed women and got the biggest implants my surgeon would allow. 400cc but now I am worried that I have developed symmastia? I called my surgeon and was told they have never had that happen and it is probably just swelling from surgery but I would like to get ahead of this problem, if it is a problem. My breast are still very swollen but the skin in between my breast is slightly raised and I can push it down to my sternum?
