Pain management after breast augmentation

Shooting pains to the nipple area after breast augmentation is often (but not always) related to larger implants. This is because the nerve to the nipple area gets stretched. A very effective option is a drug called gabapentin (Neurontin). The pain will get better with time, as will the Mondor's cord that is shown in the pictures (probably unrelated to the nipple pain.)
