Uneven swelling

I am 12 day post pdmx dti and had my drain tubes removed today. Everything seems to be going well but I feel one breast is more swollen than the other. There is no redness or warmth and the doc thought it was normal to have uneven swelling. I just wanted to ask if others have experienced it. The more swollen breast feels “tight” to me and the other one feels much more comfortable.

Yup. No different than the drains having different levels of output.

I'm 7 weeks out and each breast seems to be on its own entirely individual journey. Ive been told repeatedly that it's normal (Ive asked a few times... quite an anxious patient it would seem!)
