How long will pain and discomfort last after full capsulectomy implant removal with modified lift and areola reduction?

I'm 3 weeks post op and still experiencing pain in breast tissue and along incisions. Nipples are extremely sensitive and painful. Is this normal healing?

This is not a red flag per se, but it is important that you are comfortable and confident in your surgeon and surgical plan as you prepare for your procedure. I encourage you to speak to your surgeon about your concerns.

Thank you for your questions. The price for this procedure will vary widely over different parts of the country. Different parts make up the cost such as facility fee, anesthesia fee and surgeon's fee to name a few. Be sure you see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with which you are comfortable...

Although many changes occur in the first six weeks after surgery, your final result is not seen until 3-6 months after surgery.  Variations in swelling will occur and each patient heals differently.  Always follow your surgeon's advice for the best results.
