Swelling/bruising or something more?!

Hiya!
5 days post op, all been fine apart from my left boob has given me more agg!! Right one has gone a lot softer, seems to have dropped where as the left is causing me pain! Doesn’t seem like it’s much different in size and flares up every now & then it’s not a constant pain!
Anyways, the outside of my left boob is fine, it seems to be getting squisher & I can touch it without any pain. The inside where my cleavage is seems to be hard and soooo tender to touch or even have my Breast band on ?.
Will call the nurse tomorrow but just wanted to no is this normal to have these pains as its early on?! I’m not sure if it’s bruising although there’s no visible bruise, swelling or something else which would be shit!

Hi Sam, I’m having a similar issue with mine apart from my left if completely fine and my right is very sore and ‘hard’ lol. I had my op on Sunday and went for a check up this morning for my right boob. My surgeon said he thinks it’s just a deep bruise under the skin either from where the anaesthetic went in or just from the implant and not to worry as its normal. He said ‘they’re sisters not twins’ haha, you have to treat them like they’re two different operations! I’m taking ibuprofen for the pain and that’s helping me! Xxxx

Hi, I’m new to this forum. I had BA surgery at Preston on Sunday so I’m two days post op. My left breast feels fine on the whole. My right is so sore. Sore to touch, sore when I breathe in, sore if I so much as lift my hand to my face. Quite sharp pain at times. So I’m not really much help to anyone as I too am wondering if this is normal! I had 300cc unders xx

Jen, I had mine Sunday too and I have the exact same feeling! Although my swelling seems to have gone down slightly since yesterday. It might be a good idea to ask for a check over like I had this morning, it’s just reassuring to know all is okay. It’s just deep bruising for me Hun xx

I was in agony with my left side also Sam it was massively bruised in the cleavage line & underneath it took until day 6 for my bruising to come out too so I was so worried but it was all fine mention it to your nurse anyways tho at your 1 week post op just for peace of mind but aslong as its not hot to touch or massively swollen compared to the right you should be fine! Hope you’re recovering well otherwise xxx

Hiya girls!

Thank you sooo much it’s put my mind at ease!! The pain did wear off a little bit this morning & during the day…. Then I tried to open the tumble dryer with my foot and fell over using my left arm to break my fall lol, now it’s sore again lol fuck sake!!!
Nurse called me today to see how things are going, she said the same about the deep bruising so hopefully it’s just that!! No bruise yet I didn’t no they took a while to show so hopefully that will pop up soon & never return!! I’m probably not doing myself any good I rested for 3 days & since Sunday ive had the kids back so it’s been non stop!!
Hopefully the pain passes soon for us all, anyone else turned into the clumsiest person in the world when your meant to be ‘taking it easy’ lol ?? xxx

Oh no Sam I bet that was so painful! Try not to do too much, rest is so important! ? I have no idea if I have a visible bruise yet or not as my strapping is still on so I’m hoping it comes and goes fairly quickly too!

I’m the clumsiest person anyway so I’ve just tried not to do anything as its a disaster waiting to happen lol! Can’t wait to have a shower I feel so scruffy! ☹️ Hope your pain is easing off! Xxx

Yep I know that feeling I had zero spacial awareness after mine haha! It’s so hard to rest with kids I was the same but I wish I had made the most of it now they’re back in full swing haha! Mine was so strange there was literally nothing bruising wise one day then I took a photo the next and the middle was completely yellow! I still have trouble with my left one and an air bubble in the top but I’m hoping thatl go eventually coz I can hear it every move I make haha! Try and get some rest when you can youl feel so much better for it the more I slept the better I felt! Xxx
