Breast Augmentation discomfort most likely temporary

James C. Grotting, MD answers: Tightness and discomfort after Breast Augmentation

I am 24 days post breast augmentation with mastopexy for the left breast. When I bend down, I still feel pressure or discomfort. Is this normal and will it go away?

It is perfectly normal for you to experience some positional discomfort this soon after your surgery. As you continue to heal, these symptoms will most likely resolve. Wearing a brassiere around the clock may both improve your discomfort and help your result.
