I had 470cc each side and it still hard to take deep breaths. I'm 3days post op. When will breathing be back to normal and heaviness/pain be completely gone?
Answer: Understanding the Healing Process after Breast Augmentation HEALING OF SENSORY NERVES: Tingling, burning or shooting pains, which will disappear with time and should not alarm you, indicate regeneration of the sensory nerves. If these sensations cause pain, repeated, local self-massage helps. ASSYMETRY: The two breasts commonly heal quite differently. One breast may swell more, feel more uncomfortable, or have a different initial shape. After complete healing, they will be more similar and natural. You must have patience, but if this causes concern, ask questions of the doctor or the nursing staff. SHAPE AND CONTOUR: The final shape of your breasts will start to look its best approximately three (3) months after surgery. It takes time for the skin and muscle to stretch and relax around the new implant. The breast will often look higher, firmer, and “less natural” in the first three (3) months. It can take up to a year to see your final result. FOLLOW-UP EXAMS: These are generally done in 1 week, 2 to 3 weeks, 3 to 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months to 1 year, and 1-2 year intervals. In our office we include all of your follow up appointments in the initial surgical fee.

Answer: 3 days post op, some advices: Thanks for the question.In my practice, after performing a BA I recommend to my patients to limit the movement of the arms for two weeks. After that, you can move your arms taking care and always with common sense. In this regard, it's not advisable to carry heavy weights to prevent the implant out of position, and allow the formation of the physiological capsule around the implant, also to avoid pain and breast swelling. Kind regards

Answer: When will breathing get easier after breast augmentation? 3 days post-op. Thank you for sharing your excellent question and I am sorry to hear of your breathing difficulties. You should be experiencing a gradual improvement in both of these symptoms as your breast tissues stretch and the swelling from surgery resolves. If you are not seeing an improvement, you need to speak with your surgeon and have an in-person evaluation performed. Hope this helps.

Best wishes.

Answer: Breathing The tightness across your chest causing difficultly with breathing improves day by day. Usually at the end of the first or second week you will find that you can breath normally. If problems persist you must see your surgeon for a review.
