I am 4 days post op and on the side of my left breast when I sit up, turn a certain way, touch the specific spot or when the hubby is putting me back in my front closure bra there is an intense burning pain that comes on. If I stop the movement or lay back or stay still the pain subsides. It is brutal and I'm scared it wont go away. Is it normal? There is no extra swelling or bruising in that area. This has me feeling defeated. Had my first post op today and my doctor just said it's normal pains.

Breast Augmentation surgery can still be performed for you with braces on your teeth. The schedule for your visit to the orthodontist should not be affected as long as it is a week or so after your surgery when you have been unwrapped and able to drive again. Good luck.
Thank you for your question. It is difficult to assess without a photo and without seeing you in person. Please see your plastic surgeon for a follow up visit.
