Shooting Pains Normal Months After Breast Augmentation?

Tingling, burning or shooting pains, which will disappear with time and
should not alarm you, indicate regeneration of the sensory nerves. If these
#sensations cause pain, repeatedly, local self-massage helps. However, #massaging should be approved by your surgeon and is not suggested for textured #implants. Most importantly, you should make an appointment to discuss your healing concerns with your surgeon. 

Shooting pains can occur for variable amounts of time after breast augmentation and can still be quite normal.  If you are doing something in particular to create the pain, you should back off from that activity until it is no longer painful.  It may take 2 years for things to be back to normal.

Thank you for your question. It is uncommon to have shooting pains so long after the procedure. It is most likely that you nerves are tethered or entrapped in scar tissue. It could also be that they were stretched and went out of commission for a while, and now starting to recover and wanting to let you know they are coming alive. If the symptoms are unbearable, then I would visit with your plastic surgeon. There are some medications that can help with the nerve related discomfort.

It is entirely normal to experience temporary sharp stabbing pain, soreness, bruising, swelling and tightness for several months. Remain patient and allow your body to heal. If however the pain persists or gets worse go see your doc. Good luck to you.

Breast augmentation is often accompanied by pain,
swelling, and nipple hypersensitivity. These are essentially normal findings
which usually resolve on their own. The weird sensation that you describe is
known as a dysesthesia. It’s very similar to what happens when your leg falls
asleep. The phenomena occurs when the nerves are compressed or stretched.
During and after breast augmentation surgery, this is exactly what happens to
the nerves that supply the nipple. The breast implant underneath the nipple
compresses and stretches the soft tissue and nerves that supply the nipple and
areola. In many cases, this process is made worse by swelling.

Patients typically describe a painful, tingling, burning
sensation that can be very uncomfortable. In many cases, clothing rubbing
against the area can elicit a pins and needles sensation.

These symptoms usually resolve in
six to eight weeks, but may persist for longer periods of time. In some cases,
aggressive massage can desensitize the area and minimize the pain and
discomfort associated with this condition.
