Is it normal to have slight burn pain in between the breast after augmentation?

Question

I got 260 in left 390 in right very petite and I been having like a burn pain in between my chest. Is this normal?

Luke J. Curtsinger, MD · Answer

Temporary burning pain is usually normal and temporary.  Pain medicine, and later, anti-inflammatory medicines can take the edge off in the short term.  Discuss with your PS.  You need to follow up to be sure.

The pain you describe is not uncommon after a breast augmentation. It should resolve spontaneously with time. Be sure to let your surgeon know your concerns.
Good luck.

The implants stretch the muscles which can cause tenderness and pain in the sternal region between the breasts.  This is a normal symptom to have after surgery and typically goes away in a few weeks if not sooner.  If you continue to have discomfort beyond a few weeks anti-inflammatory medication can help.  Over time this should resolve completely.

It is not unusual to have pain between the breasts after an augmentation.  The tissues an under some tension from the implants and as the tissues relax, the chest should feel better.  It is best to discuss with your plastic surgeon so that your progress is closely followed. Good luck.

Yes, the burning sensation is very common post operatively.  At times patients will also complain of pulling and tightness.

Thomas Trey Sands, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. It is certainly normal to experience some discomfort after breast augmentation especially if the implants are out under the muscle. With time, all of these issue should resolve as the tissue stretches and the muscles relax. Make sure to follow your plastic surgeons recommendations regarding activity during your early post op perriod.

hello, thank you for your question,
if in some cases yes, and they can feel it until the month and a half or two months, that is the body reacting to foreign body ..It's nothing serious really is something normal.but also consult with your surgeon to see you and evaluate you in person to rule out any eventuality.
