When does the pain go away after Breast Augmentation?

Congrats on your new augmentation!  The pain will start to get better each and every day.  By the time you hit 2 weeks you will be sore to the touch but you wont have that fullness and pressure you do in the beginning.  The implants won't feel soft and natural till about 2 and half - 3 months.  Best of luck! 

Hello,The experience of pain is subjective but typically patients will describe a bruised, sore feeling for 1-2 weeks. Your Plastic Surgeon will be able to prescribe pain medication to manage this and you should let them know if you need to adjust your medication for your comfort.All the best

Pain and discomfort following a breast augmentation varies from patient to patient, as there are several factors to consider. First, everyone heals differently and has a different pain tolerance level. Second, it really depends on the technique used by your plastic surgeon. I use a very minimally invasive technique that utilizes cautery dissection. This technique minimizes trauma to the area with little to no bleeding. As a result, the surrounding tissue is not damaged or traumatized and the patient is able to recover quickly. My patients feel significantly better within 24 hours of the procedure and feel all of the pain go away within 3 - 5 days. So depending on the technique your surgeon used and your personal pain tolerance, you should not be experiencing any more pain within 3 - 5 days post surgery. 

Thanks for the question.In my practice, after performing a BA I recommend to my patients to limit the movement of the arms for two weeks. After that, you can move your arms taking care and always with common sense. In this regard, it's not advisable to carry heavy weights to prevent the implant out of position, and allow the formation of the physiological capsule around the implant, also to avoid pain and breast swelling. Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol.-

Thank you for sharing your question.  Each person will have a different recovery based on the size of implant placed, amount of stretch on their tissues, and their inherent ability to deal with discomfort.  In most cases patients can wean themselves from prescription pain medication within 3-5 days of surgery and control any pain with muscle relaxants or Tylenol.  Hope this helps.
