Is A Swollen Breast, Post Arthroscopic SLAP Tear Surgery, Normal?
My 17 year old daughter had Arthroscopic SLAP tear surgery 3 weeks ago. Her breast is enlarged on the same side that the surgery was performed and her axillary lymph nodes seem swollen and tender. Is this something normal or should we be concerned? I called the surgeon but they did not get back to me today.

Hello,
It is minor post-op inflammation.
As a first line management, you can take analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist better to consult a general surgeon and evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
