I had Breast augmentation with placement under the muscle and a vertical lift all at the same time 17 days ago, I'm still having pain on each side of the breast and alot of sensitivity like stinging sensation is this common and how long does it usually last?
Answer: Possible nerve regeneration, but best to see your surgeon Generally this is the result of nerve regeneration, and will often subside over time. Tingling, stinging, and burning are good signs and it most likely means that sensation is returning. Changes in sensation are normally temporary and resolve in the weeks or months following surgery. It is very rare that permanent changes occur. I recommend you see your surgeon, however, if you are very concerned. Best of luck.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Pain after breast augmentation Thank you for your question and sharing your experience with us. I am sorry that you still have discomfort at this point in your healing. You may want to consider muscle relaxants if it is from tightness of the muscle. I would something like gabapentin if the pain is more because a nerve was injured or trapped in the scar tissue as the breast are healing. In most instances, this resolves with time.I would recommend going to your plastic surgeon who can assess and help you.

Answer: Stinging pain normal 17 days after breast augmentation? Hello! Thank you for your question! Your symptoms sound like your nerves regenerating. Breast procedures such as the breast augmentation and breast lift/reduction certainly result in a more shapely, perky, and fuller appearance of your breasts. With any breast procedure there is a risk, albeit very small, of change in sensation to the area. The reported rate of sensation changes (decreased, loss, or increased) is ~7% for lift/reductions and much smaller for breast augmentation. In my experience, this rate is reportedly much lower, but is higher when tissue is excised or the amount of lift that is needed, so the breast reduction procedure has a slightly greater risk. It can take up to a year for full sensation to return. Re-educating your nerves to these areas by using different textures when showering and putting on lotion often helps. Your description sounds typical for your nerves regenerating.It is one risk of such a procedure, and one that you must consider, amongst others, as with any surgical procedure. You should consult with a plastic surgeon well-trained in breast procedures who will examine and discuss with you the various risks and benefits of the procedure(s) and assist you in deciding if such a procedure will be the right decision for you.

Answer: Breast augmentation: stinging pain
If the pain is on both sides and even, it is most likley the nerves being stretched and recovering from the surgery.
