How long will this pain stay? (Photo)

April 14, 2018
Asked By:jessicabolen12 in Georgia, GA

I had an anchor lift and breast implants(450cc gummy bear implants) on the 10th, and they said the first couple days would be the worse, but now on day 4, I'm still miserable. My breasts feel engorged & the pressure makes them feel like they could explode. There is brusing, they have a burning sensation sometimes also. I use ice packs and I'm still currently on pain meds. I've been stretching and trying to massage my breasts but are there any other things I can do to help with the pain?

Matt Erdmann, MBChB, FRCS(Eng), FRCS (Plast) says:

It would be best to discuss with your cardio-thoracic surgeon. In my opinion it should be possible but it depends on whether you are simply having a mould to correct the deformity or formal rib and sternum bone surgery.

How do I know what incision is best under the boob or in the nipple? (Photos)
Ronald J. Edelson, MD says:

I prefer the incision under the breast. It heals nearly invisibly and is a more direct approach.  There are other good reasons to use the inframmary approach.  If, in twenty years from now, say you want the breasts lifted.  the peri areola incision could make the lift more risky because some of...
