Breast tenderness after breast augmentation

Persistent pain after breast augmentation

One of the most common complaints after breast surgery are either persistent pain or chronic pain.

Breast pain 1 year after Breast Augmentation

Hi there- From your description and photos, it would not be possible to give a responsible assessment of what the cause of your problem is... An exam and knowledge of the surgical procedure would be required. Please go see your surgeon at your next convenience. After an exam, they will be best qualified to advise you on cause and possible management. Good luck!

Breast Tenderness

Although your implants are not likely to be the source of your tenderness, I still think it would be worthwhile to have your surgeon examine your breasts. If you do not have pain with movement of your implants but your breast tissue is tender, it may be hormonal. Further testing may be indicated.

Breast Augmentation tenderness

While it's not uncommon to have some tenderness that can last up to months or a year after a breast augmentation, your circumstances deserve further attention by your physician. Remember, while implants are extremely safe, they are still foreign material placed into the body. As such, our immunity from time to time can cause many similar symptoms that you're feeling. Consult with your surgeon who can then better direct to the specialist who can further work up your concerns. more

Breast Tenderness after Breast Augmentation

You are almost 1 year out from surgery so I wouldn't suspect that your "tenderness" is from the surgery either BUT a physical examination might help with making the correct assessment.

Breast discomfort 11 months post augmentation

Usually these types of symptoms dissipate be now. It is possible this is related to hormones or the nerves still recovering from being stretched. Your photograph suggests that large implants were placed. I suggest you consult with your plastic surgeon. Perhaps, an anti- inflammatory medication may be helpful, but this would depend on you being evaluated by a physician to make sure this would be an appropriate course of care.
