I had breast implants done 6 days ago. One breast is noticeably more swollen than the other. My doctor said it was fine yesterday, but im still concerned. Is this normal?

Answer: Difficult to say without examining you After reading your description, 2 things come to mind-- either you are healing just fine and your uneven swelling is just that (swelling, and nothing else) which will resolve on its own, or you may have a collection of fluid or blood, called a hematoma. The first option is normal and nothing to be concerned about, the second however needs to be addressed by your surgeon, and often times that hematoma needs to be drained.

Answer: Uneven Swelling Post Breast Implants Operation It is normal to have swelling post breast augmentation, and swelling may be more severe on one side than the other. Consult with your surgeon to ensure that you do not have a hematoma or seroma, and that you are healing as expected as he or she knows the specifics about you and the scope of the surgery.
