Pain after Breast Implants

Thank you for the question. Based on your description of persistent discomfort it would be in your best interest to be seen by your plastic surgeon in the near future. Pain may be a sign of a problem such as implant malposition or early encapsulation etc. I hope this helps.

Ok That my Left Breast is More Painfull Than my Right

When one breast is more painful than the other, it may be an indication of a problem such as capsular contracture or hematoma. Alternatively it could be compression of a nerve. Discuss either with a plastic surgeon.

Post-op pain after breast implants

It is fairly common to have discomfort one week after a breast augmentation.  However, if you are concerned about discomfort then you should check with your surgeon.
