Is it normal to experience pain 5+ months after a breast lift/reduction?

lily272
I had a breast lift with a slight reduction (50g from left, 55g from right) on May 9. I have healed very well for the most part (scarring is fading, and my results are beautiful) but I have been experiencing consistent soreness as well as twinges of sharper pain in both breasts since then, not horrible but definitely noticeable, maybe a 3-4/10, especially in the upper pole of my breasts over the pectoral muscle and also near my scars. Is this normal? Will it go away? Should I contact my surgeon?
