2 weeks post nipple reconstruction after bi-lateral mastectomy, How long does it take to heal before tattooing can normally be done? How long does the pain last? I am having some shooting pain on out part of breast and some overall pain in both breasts. I did pull a muscle that I keep re-injuring before the nipples were done, I cannot pick up anything over a 1 lb without causing pain in the outer part of my breast. Can a MD help with this or what other type of doctor should I use? Ice vs heat?
