I had 450cc saline under the muscle yesterday about 1pm. Unless I'm medicated to (sleeping). It's pretty bad. About 8 on pain scale. I am staying in bed except to go to bathroom. Luckily I have a Mobil memory foam so I can sit up a little. They do look nice although I'm swollen up high to my armpit in the front.

Answer: After breast augmentation: how long does the pain last? On average, patients say their discomfort lasts about three days, and that each day is better than the day before. Women with children equate the feeling to when their breasts were engorged with milk. Patients further consistently tell me that the discomfort eases up a great deal by the fourth day after surgery. 90 percent of the women return to work in an office setting by the fifth day after surgery. Hope this information is reassuring. Of course, if you have any concerns post op you should keep your surgeon in the communication loop. For more information on this and similar topics, I recommend a plastic surgery Q&A book like "The Scoop On Breasts: A Plastic Surgeon Busts the Myths."

Answer: Pain Around half of my patients report that their pain has settled to an extent that they stop taking pain killers by the end of the first week, and the remainder by the end of the second week. Some discomfort is felt for longer after this time, but does not normally require pain killers.
