One breast swollen and bruised 2 weeks post op Breast Reduction. Any suggestions?

natalie_z92
I am 2 weeks post op breast reduction surgery. My left breast seems to be healing beautifully and minimal pain. My right breast however, seems to be swollen (not significantly bigger than other breast) and started bruising lightly after a week. I went to my surgeons office for a follow up just yesterday and she said everything looked good and no sign of infection. Is swelling and bruising in one breast normal?
