Can you help with pain in one breast 6 month post op & pregnant?

Question

I am 6 month post op , had tubular breasts so I had an augmentation, uplift & fat transfer. I have recently found out I’m pregnant I’m now 12 weeks , never had any issues with my breasts until now. I’ve woke up with a burning/stinging pain on the side and underneath on my right breast. I do sleep on my right side so I’m wondering if I’ve slept on it funny or could it be hormonal due to the fact I’m pregnant and my surgery wasn’t long ago.

Dear Enthusiastic6624,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

You are pregnant and most pregnant women, especially early on, have pain and tenderness in their breasts with the increase in hormones.  Also, your pain started after you were pregnant.  You have two different breasts which may not react in the same way.
