Asked By:Ashlee17 in Winnipeg, MB

I'm 5 days post op & the pressure with pain from surgery is getting worse. First 2-3 days post op I hardley felt anything. Now when I wake up I feel extreme pressure on chest and tightness. I got 500cc hp I'm 5'7 125 pounds. When I push on the implant on sides by arm pit it really hurts. Is this normal? It's too hard to massage because it is tight & painful. It also hurts to lift my arms up. Should I take the bra off i feel lots of relief when I do that? I also have bruising on left breast
