I am about 4 weeks post-op and I am so happy with the results aesthetically, I wish I'd had the courage to do this 20 years ago!! One question: my breasts are still tender on the sides, and on the left there is one particular area that hurts quite a bit.

My surgeon said that the sides are where all the nerves to the breasts are located, but should I stil have pain after 4 weeks?
