Hi all,

So I am currently 2 weeks post op with Andrew Ives. However I have noticed a large amount of swelling on the right side of my chest, between my collarbone and the top of my nipple. This swelling is almost double that of the swelling on the left side of my chest. Is this normal or should I be going to a doctor? Could it be because I'm right handed and am using that side too much? Also any tips to help reduce selling (assuming it is safe to do so) would be appreciated :)

Thanks for any help,
~Daniel

Think it's normal. I had a bit on the left side which was creating more blood and fluid for some reason than the other. It went away after a couple of months. There isn't much you can do to reduce it except wait. Or if there's too much, get the doc to aspirate it.
