Asked By:victoriaclient in Victoria, BC

Submusc silicone. 170lb 5'9''. R side healed well! L side (problem) longer and more painful recovery. No injuries. 1.5 months post op, just above the bottom of my left crease, the implant feels sharp and pointy. Feels as if implant sits perpendicular to my chest. It feels like if you fill a thin sandwich bag full of water and touch the points that are filled with water. Told each side heals different rates. Nurse said the more intense pain on my left side was normal. Should I be seen?
