Is it normal for one breast to be more painful than the other after Breast Augmentation? (photos)

It is not uncommon for one breast to be much more painful than the other. It sounds like things are under control and your surgeon is being very attentive 

It is absolutely normal for one side to hurt a bit more than the other. Remember no one is symmetrical.  Typically your breast on the dominant side will hurt more after surgery  becase the muscle on that side is typically thicker and we tend to use that side more. With that said, surgeons want to always know if one breast is significantly bigger on one side or hurts significantly more. The reason is that could mean that you have developed bleeding or a hematoma in that breast after surgery. Good luck. 

Hello,You have more pain because you had blood on the left side and it was operated on.  You don't have capsular contracture, at least at this time. Follow up with your surgeon closely. Best of luck!

The use of drains is a bit unusual but most patients report asymmetric discomfort after breast augmentation. This is particularly true of the implants are in a sub muscular position.

Thank you for your question. I am sorry you have not had a smooth recovery. It is normal for one breast to be more uncomfortable after a breast augmentation. It does appear from your pictures the left breast was more swollen and potentially could have had a hematoma (bleeding). Since your surgeon took you back and verified there was no bleeding or removed the hematoma that was there (I am unclear from your question) it is common for that side to remain more swollen. A capsular contracture is scar tissue hardening around the implant. It is too soon to worry about a capsular contracture at this point. The muscle and tissues need time to stretch and accommodate the implant. Continue to stay in contact with your surgeon as it sounds like they are following you closely. Good luck with your recovery.
