Breast Lift: How long does it take for Cooper ligaments to heal when they are causing pain?

I appreciate your question.





Pain and sensation can last a few weeks to months.



The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.  Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery.



 



Best of luck!

Hello dear, Thanks for your question and provided information as well.. The recovery period is different in each patient,  besides that from the inside to the outside the breasts can heal properly after 21 days from the procedure. 

My general answer is that it can take a couple of weeks.  Would like more information to be more precise...such as if implants were used? what lift technique was used?  where is the pain occurring? what kind of pain? is the pain associated with any particular activities and range of motion of the arms or chest? etc etc..

In general, I call it the "twings and twangs" of breast surgery. This should improve by about 3 months. however if it does not please talk to your surgeon to be sure there are no other issues. Hope this helps.
