    Girls I’m two weeks post op today. My left boob is smaller and higher than my right so I’m not sure if it’s actually my right boob that’s swollen but it’s my left giving me all the agg. I tried to drive and it was just a disaster I had no strength in my
    Left hand or arm to change gear or use the handbreak. My right was absolutely fine is there any reason my left is so behind? I’m considering booking a consultation just for my own reassurance. Did anyone suffer from this or take them longer to drive? Thank you

    This is just an example of the difference in my boobs and nipples. Anyone else the same??

    Also I can feel like a fluid every time I move in my left boob. Anyone else??

    Hi Lacey,
    I’m in the same position as you (almost). My left hand side is smaller and higher than my right and I really noticed it today. My left is also the one giving me the most pain. I too went driving for the first time today, but it felt alright (although my car is an automatic) so it could’ve been a lot different if I was driving a manual.
    I think its really common for them to settle at different times (or so I’m hoping). Have you got an email address or something so you can send a pic to the nurse? Maybe that might be a good idea?
    Hope everything sorts itself out soon! xx

    I didn’t actually go with MYA but I am going to contact my nurse on Monday, however surely it’s normal and one has just dropped before the other?
