Thank you and good luck with your surgery.

Thank you for responding. Although I'm sorry you have the same or similar problem- it's comforting to know I'm not a strange or unusual case. Please let me know if you find any answers and I'll do the same for you. Good luck!

I had a breat lift about 18 months ago. Very soon after the surgery, I experienced severe burning & pain in my left nipple and the entire breast ached much more than the right side. The left nipple was/is also very hard and erect.The doc said the pain/burning should "settle down" as time goes on & more healing takes place. The problem did not get better at all- so about 6 months post-op, I got another opinion from a different surgeon who thought the nipple muscles were in a constant spasm causing the pain, burning & hardness. He suggested Botox to relax the nipple muscles. I had Botox injections twice- but it didn't help at all. So here I am a year & a half later with the same problem. I keep my hand on my left breat in the shower because the water hitting it is painful. I wear a silicone nipple protector over it during the day. I take Neurontin for burning "nerve" pain which helps some too. I'm afraid this will be a life-long problem- so I really wish I didn't have the lift at all. Has anyone else had this problem -and found a solution??
