Hi! Im a 42 year old woman. 5’4” and 125 pounds. I have opted for a conservative submusclar saline implants. I am unable to take Rx pain meds due to allergies. Pain management will be with over the counter Tylenol/Advil. My surgeon feels I can manage my pain with OTC meds. What should I expect with pain following surgery?

Answer: What to expect The first three days after surgery, women who have had children commonly say they feel like they did when their breasts were fully engorged with milk after childbirth. Women who have not had children describe the feeling as some tightness, burning or pressure. The discomfort usually starts to ease up on the fourth day after surgery. More than 90 percent of the patients are back to work in an office setting on the fifth day.

Answer: Recovery Recovery is unique to each person. Typically patients that use prescription pain medications are able to begin switching to over the counter medications after 3-5 days. You may want to inquire about Exparel which is a pain medication that can be injected during surgery and lasts for 2 or 3 days.
