Difficult to Sleep After Breast Implants

It is not uncommon to still have some pain after breat augmentation, even 2-3 weeks out. The swelling can last for a few months. Musle relaxants might help. Discuss this with your board certified plastic surgeon. Good Luck!

Hello

It is normal to still be in pain 2 weeks post-surgery. Swelling takes 6-9 months to completely subside. I would follow up with your PS to review what you can do to help you relieve your pain.
