A member asked:
Is it normal to have breast swelling after pacemaker surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: There can be some swelling around the area where the pacemaker was placed. If it extends much beyond that area, i would discuss this with the doctor who placed the pacemaker. Certainly, the entire breast should not be swollen.
