Pain and pulling sensation after breast scar tissue removal 4 weeks ago.

Thank you for your question.At four weeks, your body is pulling itself together and healing at the area of surgery.  Maximum scar pulling can usually last for 2-4 months, but the good news is that it is most often temporary. The discomfort usually subsides when the scar tissue softens as it matures.  Scars mature slowly over the course of about 1 year.  Nerve function and sensation can return for up to 2 years.  When the scars are no longer red or pink, then the maturation process is typically completeTo be sure this is what is happening to you, return to see your surgeon on a regular basis for check ups and reassurance.I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. Sorry to hear that you are still experiencing problem after your operation. Why did you decide to have the implants removed? I might be able to advice better if I have more information on the original operation.Kind RegardsAndrea Marando

Our bodies heal with the deposition of scar tissue which peaks around 4 to 6 weeks. After this time the body will start breaking down this scar tissue for the next so many months. Therefore, if you do not have anything else going on, this most probably is a normal healing sensation. It should get better with time. Your nipple being "sore" may be hypersensitivity. If the nerve to the nipple is irritated during surgery, many people will have bothersome  sensitivity to the nipple for a bit. This as well should resolve with time. If you have no sensation at the nipple this is different. Regardless, as time goes on the discomfort should get better unless you have a rare case of permanent nipple sensory loss.
