I have 425 saline mod profile unders in both breast. My right is filled to 450 and left filled to 490. Its been eight weeks since surgery and my left is still pretty sore. The implant is feels a little to overfilled and my crease is a little lower then the right. It hurts in the lower part of my breast along with my ribs on that same side. My right feels good, no pain or soreness. Is this normal and how long will it last?
Answer: Pain after Breast Augmentation?
Thank you for the question.
Discomfort after any type of surgery will vary from one patient to another depending on many factors including patients' pain threshold, the exact procedure performed, the amount/extent of dissection necessary, surgical technique…
The majority of patients who undergo breast augmentation surgery have significant discomfort for the first 2 to 4 days after surgery. This discomfort (and requirements for pain medication and muscle relaxant) decreases rapidly on a weekly basis.
Given that your breasts is still “pretty sore” after 8 weeks, you may want to follow-up with your plastic surgeon for evaluation. He/she will be in the best position to advise you.
Best wishes.

CONTACT NOW Answer: How Long Do Breast Hurt After a BA? Pain and discomfort after breast augmentation surgery can vary significantly from person to person. However, here's a general timeline for what you might expect in terms of discomfort: 1. Immediate post-surgery: You'll likely experience the most discomfort in the first few days after surgery. This pain is typically managed with prescribed pain medications provided by your plastic surgeon. It's common to feel soreness, tightness, and swelling in the chest area during this time. 2. First week: Pain and discomfort usually peak within the first few days and then gradually decrease over the first week. You may still need pain medication during this time, but the intensity of the pain should lessen as your body begins to heal. 3. 2-4 weeks: By the end of the second week and into the fourth week post-surgery, most patients experience a significant reduction in pain. However, you may still feel some discomfort, especially with certain movements or activities that engage the chest muscles. 4. 4-6 weeks: By this time, many patients find that their pain has decreased significantly, and they can return to their normal daily activities with minimal discomfort. However, it's essential to continue following your plastic surgeon's post-operative care instructions and avoid strenuous activities or heavy lifting until you receive clearance from your plastic surgeon. 5. Beyond 6 weeks: While some minor discomfort or sensitivity may persist for a few months after surgery, significant pain should have subsided by this point. Your breasts will continue to settle and heal over the following months, and any residual discomfort should gradually improve. It's important to remember that everyone's recovery process is different, and individual factors such as pain tolerance, surgical technique, and the extent of the procedure can influence your experience. If you have concerns about your pain levels or the progression of your recovery, don't hesitate to contact your plastic surgeon for guidance and reassurance. They can provide recommendations and address any issues that may arise during your recovery journey.

Answer: 1-2 weeks depending on whether implant is above or below the muscle Pain after breast augmentation there is considerably depending on whether the muscle was elevated to place the implant below it or whether the implant was placed on top of it. If the implant is placed on top of the muscle, the pain and soreness is typically less, and the knee pain patients have typically is just within the first week. The second week they still may feel some soreness but otherwise feels much much better. If the implant is placed below the muscle, the timing of the pain can last a bit longer and can sometimes be a bit more painful. Nonetheless, this varies significantly from patient patient. I like to give all of my patients local anesthesia at the time of surgery to minimize any discomfort when they wake up from surgery and a lot of them wake up with very minimal pain to at least get them ahead of the pain curve before the local anesthesia wears off. After surgery, I also recommend not trying to overdo anything in the first 2 or 3 weeks as that can worsen pain and soreness during this time. -David Mattos, New York Plastic Surgical Group

Answer: Breast Pain After Breast Augmentation Surgery You will continue healing over the next 6-12 months, and as you do so your pain will be less and less. Sometimes women will have tenderness at the inframammary incisional scar or slightly below it. This area may feel firm or may even look like a raised “guitar string”. Anti-inflammatory analgesic like Advil or Naprosyn and massaging of the area can be helpful. I expect that the pain will go away over time. Always follow-up with your plastic surgeon so that he or she can determine that your recovery continues on track.

Answer: Could have Seroma, Hematoma, or Infection; Go See Your Surgeon Thank you for your question. Eight weeks out this should not really be happening. Especially since you have symptoms only on one side, you may have a seroma, a hematoma or an infection. I would go see your surgeon, and ask his advice.

Answer: Pain after a breast augmentation Great question - pain is such a subjective experience - most of my patients are back at work 6-7 days post-op. But it is certainly possible for the pain to be significant for a longer period of time. Everyone is different. That being said, it would be very surprising to me that a patient would have any discomfort whatsoever 8 weeks post-op. In that situation probably best to follow-up with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck.
