Nerve pain after mommy makeover?

Thank you for your question.It's possible that you are having nerve pain that often can take up to three months to resolve. I would not advise performing upper body exercise for 12 weeks and when you do, ease into it slowly.  Typically, the more you strengthen your pectoral muscles the implants can possibly be pulled up into an unnatural and possibly uneven position. Andrew T.

Nerve pain typically resolves as the tissues heal, swelling resolves, and things settle.  Sometimes that can take three months or more.  I encourage you to continue to follow the advice of your plastic surgeon.  The medication prescribed should be helpful.

bentley3665.   So sorry you are having this problem.  The nerve pain you are having may be secondary to small sensory nerves re-attaching after being separated during surgery.  Numbness in these regions can be replaced by pain as these nerves come back together, returning sensation to normal.  It can take up to 6 months to subside.  In the meantime, ask your plastic surgeon about anti inflammatory medications, as they may be more effective and do not cause drowsiness.  Hang in there!
