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

Question

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?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

At this stage of recovery some soreness is expected, but severe pain would be unusual.  I recommend visiting with your surgeon to determine if healing is progressing properly and what may be causing you so much discomfort.

Benjamin J. Cousins, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and your post. I am sorry to hear of your continued discomfort and ongoing pain. Seems a little unusual for it to be so severe and extremely painful this far out. It is best to follow-up with your PS to address your concerns, have an examination and to ask for additional evaluation and recommendations.Sincerely,Benjamin J.
