Congratulations on your surgery! It is normal to sometimes have swelling in your breast off and on the more you become active and also if that is your dominant side. I recommend consulting with your board-certified plastic surgeon.

If you are menstrual age, this could be hormonal fibroadenoma. I cannot rule out mastitis. Consult with your surgeon.

Not normal; however, it is a reason for concern. I would contact your doctor and be seen just to make sure nothing is going on.

This is very normal and can come and go for many weeks to come. Good luck and be safe.

Having a little extra swelling post op is not unusual. One side may swell more. As long as there is no sign of infection, you should do fine.

I don't think it is anything bad but I would suggest you have your surgeon take a look at it. Sometime it is just a matter of sleeping on it the wrong way or it is possible you could have bled a little around the implant. Either way I think it should be looked at.

Good morning! Asymmetric swelling after a lift is common-even weeks afterward. I would let your PS know about it and watch closely, but it is likely nothing to get alarmed about.

Any LARGE amount of swelling or fever,sharp pains, or redness need to be addressed immediately.

I hope this helps

You could have experienced some bleeding on that side and if it persists, I would go back and talk with your plastic surgeon. It sounds like your implants are under the muscle and maybe one side is "dropping" a little quicker or maybe you have been doing too much like working out and that side is more swollen. Check with your plastic surgeon!

Upper pole tenderness and swelling 3 weeks after a breast enhancement is likely a muscle spasm, usually in the dominant hand side. This could also be fluid collections (seroma) or delayed hematoma. It would be vital to return to your plastic surgeon to look at the issue.
