Does it hurt when breast reduction stitches dissolve?

It is common to have pain in one breast and not the other. Most pain sensations resolve around 3 months out  therefore at 6 weeks you are in the middle of this period and would expect to have some pain. The electrical shooting pain is very common as nerve endings are regenerating. I have my patients massage these areas 4 times a day for10 minutes and this tends to help the pain. Dissolving sutures are not really associated with pain

Typically, the dissolving of stitches is not painful and the patient is unaware they have dissolved. Your pains are just normal pain unfortunately, with breast surgery. These pains should decrease over the course of time.

Thanks for your question. At 6 weeks nerves are beginning to regenerate and you will get the "zinger" sensation. That is normal and will go away. Often times massage and even warm compresses can help.
