I had this procedure to improve the look of my breasts. They were very saggy and non existant since I nursed my daughter last year.

I had a breast lift with augmentation 2 weeks ago. I am having pain in my ribs on both sides and is tender to touch, is this normal? I also noticed that my Lymph nodes in my armpits are swollen on both sides.

Great review?

I had the same feeling on my left breast I feel the pain in my lower rib left side when I do lay down and the left breast is really tight especially on the side it's like having something tuck in your armpit I'm on my 2 weeks post of let me know if yours went away.
