Uneven Swelling Post Breast Implants Operation
At this early stage it is most likely normal post-operative swelling. Other things to be concerned about would include a hematoma or a seroma. These should be evaluated by your plastic surgeon. It is more likely that small differences in symmetry are due to post-operative changes. These should improve with additional time.
Clinical Context
Swelling and mild asymmetry are common in the early weeks after breast implant surgery and usually improve as swelling resolves. If one side appears significantly larger, firmer, more painful, or changes suddenly, this could indicate a hematoma or seroma and should be checked promptly. Asymmetry that develops months after surgery, rather than in the early recovery period, is more often related to implant position or scar tissue changes and also warrants evaluation by your surgeon.
