Maybe, maybe not...: It is not uncommon to have bruising after a breast augmentation, but a large bruise above the sternum (i am assuming in the midline) would be unusual. Check with your surgeon.

Most likely Yes.: Sounds pretty normal. Obviously without seeing you it's impossible to know for sure. Call your surgeon if you have any questions.
