How can I reduce the pain and swelling? Will the vicodine help and is it ok if I take 2?
Answer: Nipple tingling Thank you for your question. It is typical to have some tingling or numbness soon after breast augmentation surgery. Lidocaine patches will tend to make the nipples numb and should be only used short term. This will generally improve and resolve on it's own with time.

Answer: My nipples are so swollen and have a burning and tingling sensation after breast augmentation post op 3 days. Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear about your symptoms, but these are not uncommon after a breast augmentation. With the swelling and skin stretching that occurs with surgery, the nerves in your breast are stretched and become irritated, causing the burning and tingling sensations. As the swelling resolves, and your skin accommodates the size of your implants, these feelings will start to improve. Just be aware it may take several weeks. Hang in there

Answer: Gentle Motion and NSAIDS Your symptoms are wholly due to excessive swelling following your breast augmentation.In my practice we like to begin gentle arm motion exercises right after surgery to improve blood flow and diminish swelling. We also have our patients shower soon after surgery. This works well enough that most patients have adequate pain relief on Ibuprofen alone. Certain factors such as larger implants and individual patient characteristics will also affect post op swelling. In in any case, check with your surgeon to work out a plan to address your post op concerns.

Answer: Pain and swelling after breast augmentation All of your symptoms you describe are very common after Breast Augmentation. As the swelling resolves and your skin stretches to accommodate the implant, your symptoms should start resolving as well. Vicodin is a narcotic pain reliever and you should consult with your prescribing physician.
