Breast Augmenation Aches at 3 Years Post Op?

PAIN IN YOUR BREASTS AFTER BREAST ENHANCEMENT CAN BE RELATED TO CAPSULAR CONTRACTURE, HORMONES, CHOCOLATE, CAFFEINE OR OTHER THINGS THAT SHOULD BE RULED OUT.

MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO CONTACT YOUR SURGEON FOR AN EXAM TO DETERMINE POSSIBLE CAUSES.

FOLLOWING A BREAST AUGMENTATION USUALLY THERE WILL BE SOME MILD DISCOMFORT THAT WILL LAST FOR THE FIRST 6 MONTHS TO ONE YEAR.  BUT ONCE THIS SUBSIDES MOST PATIENTS ARE COMFORTABLE UNLESS THERE IS FIRMNESS FROM SCAR TISSUE KNOWN AS CAPSULAR CONTRACTURE.  THIS IS CORRECTED BY PERFORMING SURGERY TO REMOVE THE SCAR TISSUE AND REPLACING THE IMPLANT.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU

Aching breasts three years after augmentation can be many things. The most likely is capsular contracture, but an exam would be necessary to rule out the different causes.
