Why does my surgery incision have a burning sensation? (photos)

Hello venacruz. Thanks for your question. A burning sensation is usually attributed to nerve stretch and/or inflammation that occurs with all breast surgery. As the wounds continue to heal, you will notice less and less burning and eventually feel normal again. Best, Dr. ALDO

A burning sensation along your incision line is typically due to nerve stretch or inflammation that is simply a by product of any breast surgery. It should improve with time. If not, see your surgeon so that he or she can assess you in person. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.  it's not time enough to express a valid opinion of results. Burning sensation can be due to inflammation, talk to your plastic surgeon and follow his advices.On the other hand, generally to avoid the normal p.o. swelling, I recommend to limit the arms movement for two weeks. Also it's not advisable to carry weight and take the antiinflamatory painkillers drugs.Finally, I recommend you always use a therapeutic bra.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

I appreciate your question.

Since there has been a change in your post op course, please contact your surgeon so he/she can examine you at this time recommend most appropriate treatment plan.



The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.

Best of luck!

Congratulations on your recent breast augmentation.Everyone heals differently.It is not unusual to have hypersensitivity, shooting pain, tingling, or burning sensation.Pleas follow your plastic surgeon's post-op instruction and follow up with your plastic surgeon as scheduled.Best regards.

It is not unusual for incisions to have a burning sensation after surgery due to nerve irritation.  It is still very early in the healing process. This problem should resolve with time.  

Any specific issues that are concerning should be evaluated in person by your surgeon. Best of luck with your results.

Thank
you for the question. It looks like you are still in
the post operation recovery stage. It is
not uncommon to feel pain, itchiness, and slight abnormalities during this
period. It usually takes about 8-12
weeks for the wounds to heal and around 4-6 months for the implants to fully
settle. It would be best to visit your
board-certified plastic surgeon and get a full assessment. Best of luck. Dr. Michael Omidi.









An
in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to assess
your needs and provide true medical advice.

Thank you for your question and photo. You didn't mention when you had your surgery but, judging by your photo and the surgical dressing it appears that your surgery was recent. At this point, it is normal to experience burning or pain at the incision. This can be attributed to inflammation and pressure on the nerves. You should expect this improve in the coming days and weeks. Best of luck with your recovery,

The burning sensation you are experiencing is mainly nerve related and is very common following this surgery. You can expect this to subside with time as your healing progresses.
