CONTACT NOW Answer: Typically mild to moderate, always tolerable Great question. This is not a particularly painful surgery. If your surgeon uses local anesthesia at the time of surgery and combines it with multimodal pain medication afterward (acetaminophen, NSAIDs, and narcotics, sometimes also gabapentin), your pain will be well controlled after surgery. Most of my patients have mild to moderate pain but everyone is happy with their decision. Most of them would say it's one of the best decisions they've ever taken. Hope you feel well after your surgery! -Dr. David Mattos, New York Plastic Surgical Group

Answer: Pain after breast reduction The pain immediately after your surgery should be well controlled with pain medication and typically in the first few days it can be uncomfortable but not unmanageable. This pain should get better rather than worse and most women report that the pain prior to surgery (neck, shoulder, back pain) instantly improves with all the weight off them. By far the great majority are very happy with the symptomatic relief and happy they underwent the surgery despite the immediate postoperative discomfort. Wishing you the best in your journey.

Answer: Pain after breast reduction Thank you for your question. Pain is very subjective and everyone experiences pain differently. Most patients tolerate breast reduction surgery very well with appropriate oral pain medication afterwards. In general, most individuals who undergo breast reductions have previously suffered from neck, back, and/or shoulder pain and typically experience relief of these symptoms after surgery. Be sure to discuss your pain control regimen with your board-certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

Answer: Breast Reduction Surgery Pain It is important to note that everyone has a different experience after surgery, from negible pain to signficant discomfort. In many cases, you are required to stay overnight in hospital. When you leave the hospital you will be given the appropriate pain relief medication if needed. After surgery you will immediately notice a significant amount of weight lifted from your shoulders, alleviating any pre-exisiting neck, back and shoulder pain.

Answer: Breast Reduction Surgery Breast reduction surgery normally is not regarded as a markedly painful procedure. Everyone’s perception of pain is different. Normally, the pain associated with a breast reduction is controlled with common pain relieving medications.
