I have extreme shoulder pain, should I use ice packs over the weekend until I see my doctor on Monday?

You should call your surgeon and express your concerns. Your surgeon will have the best advice for you as he or she knows what was done for you and what may or may not be normal for you. If you were my patient, I wouldn't mind being called on the weekend.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

Thank you for your question. I would call your doctor and speak with them now. It's important that you explain what is going on, so they can decide what advice to give you. After augmentation extreme pain is rare. Half of my patients only take ibuprofen after surgery, and they tend to describe their discomfort as "soreness" and not really as "pain." Certainly not as "extreme pain." Again, just give your doctor a heads up so that they can give you the best advice.

Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry to hear of your shoulder pain.  Though icing will not harm anything I would reach out to your surgeon so that they are aware of what is going on and can make the best recommendations.  Shoulder pain is not uncommon after submuscular placement and may respond well to a muscle relaxant.  Hope this helps.
