SWELLING UNDER ARMPITS & BOWL MOVEMENT: Post Op Day 2

So I have been getting some swelling under my armpits. It feels like my implant is there and don't know if this is common for others. Called my PS office and sent pictures to him. He said that this is normal and the red bulge could be bruising. Has anyone has this swelling under the armpits?

This morning I had my bowl movement on day 2 and I was relieved. I did not want to go on 3-5 days without any bowl movement. I drank 2 smooth move teas and my mom gave me one of her diuretic teas. Those teas seemed to help a lot. I am now off my pain meds and switched to extra strength tylenol. I am continuing to take my bromelain and arnica also to help with the swelling and brushing. I have been trying to take it easy, but I get bored out of my mind lol. All I want to do is clean or do something. Anyways, I hope that this swelling will go down and it is nothing serious.

I had a lot of swelling in my armpit the first 2 weeks. My boobs were initially awkward looking but after the swelling subsided. They begin to take shape and drop :)

I also went to dr kearney
