I’m 1 week post op my breasts are swollen and very firm at the top. I know the swelling will go but my main concern is my breasts are so sensitive even wearing a T-shirt hurt them (not just the nipple the whole breast) Went from a B cup and had 295cc implants under the muscle Is this level of sensitivity normal?

Answer: Breast Augmentation Sensitivity Thank you for your question. It is not uncommon to have swelling or hypersensitivity. Breasts may not heal at the same rate, causing one breast to appear different than the other. It can take up to 12 weeks for the implants to settle and you to see the final result. The sensitivity make decrease some as you progress in your healing process. The nerves can be stretched when placing the implant and will heal within a few weeks. Follow up with your board certified surgeon to address your concern. Good luck!

Answer: Hypersensitivity Thanks for your question Tiicky!At just 1 week post op you are still in the very early stages of the healing process. Throughout your post op recovery you may experience various changes in your breasts including sensation changes due to nerve regeneration and swelling. I advise all my patients of the possibility that the breasts and nipples may have reduced sensation or alternatively be hypersensitive to the slightest touch. Both are very normal to experience and should improve over your recovery time.
