Uneven Swelling/dropping of Breasts 3 Weeks Post-op

May 21, 2011
Asked By:Aven

3 weeks ago I had under the muscle breast augmentation (silicone,450 each) bringing me from a 34C to a 34DD. From the time I awoke I experienced more pain in the left breast than right, but size appeared even. I'm noticing now swelling in the left is not subsiding as quickly as the right, and it appears to sit higher than the right breast as well. Is this normal? Adding to my anxiety, my son's soccer ball hit me in the left breast 1 wk post op. Could this cause serious/permanent harm? Thank You!
