Hello! I am currently four days post op and went from a 34H to a 34C (hopefully after swelling). I am healing (painwise) very nicely and alternate prescribed anti-inflammatories every three hours. I have noticed, though, that the area under my arm/on my side is hard/stiff and sore when touched (I also put ice on them). They seem to be enlarged as well, as if my breasts extends to my side. Is this normal/swelling that will go down with time, or should I see my surgeon?
I'm 3 yrs post op. In the last year I've experienced extremely soreness in my breast, usually about 2-3 weeks before my menstrual cycle to a point where I can't stand to even touch them. Is this normal or should I seek a second opinion?
I have had large breasts for about 6 years now and I'm only 19. I feel that even though my breasts support themselves fairly well, I'm still seeing too much sagging for a woman my age. My neck is constantly sore and stiff and I can't stand or walk around for long periods of time without experiencing horrible upper back pain. My breasts have never looked THAT big to me, but I am now wondering if I would be a good candidate for surgery and if it is probable that my insurance would pay for it?
I had a breast lift with a slight reduction (50g from left, 55g from right) on May 9. I have healed very well for the most part (scarring is fading, and my results are beautiful) but I have been experiencing consistent soreness as well as twinges of sharper pain in both breasts since then, not horrible but definitely noticeable, maybe a 3-4/10, especially in the upper pole of my breasts over the pectoral muscle and also near my scars. Is this normal? Will it go away? Should I contact my surgeon?
One of my concerns was that I would lose the sensation in my breasts. I still have a little sensation in my right nipple but the left cant feel anything yet. Also these last few days, my breasts have been really sore. Does that mean that the nerves are finding their ways back together? Will it ever go back to normal?
I had what looked like an allergic reaction to Tylenol 2 days post op. My surgeon said to switch to Ibuprofen. I know that's not usually ok because of the blood thinning effects. But, I had no other choice. I'm 4 days out. I stay at 400 mg, 3X a day. This is the max recommended on the bottle. I haven't been in very bad pain, but I don't want to be (obviously). Should I push through when I start to get sore and try to lessen how much I take or is it ok to keep taking that amount? Thanks.
My upper arm to my elbow, it has been sore although Ive done nothing to it. And now Im feeling tingles through the arm to my hand and fingers. Its gotten EXTREMELY painful and idk what to do or what caused it. Is this the nerve pain that I was told to expect? What can I do about it?
18 days post op and today I noticed this indentation.Its not super visible but I feel it .i dont know if this is concerning .The area it is sore and near it is hard , the doctor said the hardness was probably a old blood clot she wasnt concerned.my doctor is closed on the weekends and Im just feeling concerned I dont know if this will go away if its just swelling causing this indent or what it is but id hate it to stay . Anyone familiar with this?
