Breast Aug Incision Soreness. How Long Will I Feel Tender/Sore? (photo)
Hey guys. I had a breast augmentation 2-6-13 and I was just wondering how long is it normal to feel tender/sore on your incision site? My sites look clean and fine.

Breast Augmentation Incisions Are Usually Sore For Several Weeks

Breast Aug Incision Soreness.
These symptoms are common and expected, as is gradual resolution over the course of several weeks. Nothing on the photos appears troubling. All the best.

Postoperative incision tenderness
The tenderness at incision sites generally resolve in about 1-2 weeks, to the point where pressing on them is of little discomfort. If the incisions are under the breast, be careful not to let your bra rub on them. And of course no hard edges like underwire for at least 4 weeks, and only after sensation has returned to normal.

Soreness of Breast Augmentation Incisions
Your incisions are helaing very well. It is typical to have soreness in this area and other areas of your operation for the next 4 weeks or so. The soreness should be less noticeable each week. Continue to follow-up with your PS.

Breast augmentation incisions
Your incisions can be sore and red for several weeks sometimes months. Give it time to heal. If they are very red and inflamed it may represent an infection. Best to be seen by your surgeon.
