Asked By:UnBooBjob in Huntington Beach, CA

Hi ladies has anyone had an off and on burning sensation after explant? I'm about 7 weeks post op. Last week no pain, then woke up in the middle night and lifted my son (30 pounds) into my bed and felt a burning in both breast today it's been the same all day. Totally off and on. More when I press on the breast or nipple. Going to call my surgeon Monday if it doesn't pass. My regular doc said maybe it's nerves.. Weird
