Uneven Swelling After Breast Implants Operation Tri Valley Plastic Surgery

I had breast implants done 6 days ago. One breast is noticeably more swollen than the other. My doctor said it was fine yesterday, but im still concerned about it. Is this normal?

Thanks for your question - 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. I hope this helps.

Breast augmentation is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in the United States, with over 300,000 procedures annually. Modern breast implants are available in saline and silicone gel formulations, in round and anatomic (teardrop) shapes. Implant placement can be subglandular (over the muscle) or submuscular (partially or fully under the pectoralis muscle).

Board certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery requires years of specialized surgical training beyond medical school and residency.
