Asked By:cat3754 in Boston, MA

I'm about five and a half weeks post op from a bl and implants. My right nipple has no feeling but I dont experience soreness on that side. My left side however is very tender. If I'm laying in bed and rest on my even just lightly over my left breast to text or anything its painful. Its sore to the touch. They both look even and my wounds are basically closed. I dont think I have an infection, no fever not red or hot. Is this normal?
