Mark Crispin, MD · Answer

It is not unusual to have pain up to several weeks after breast augmentation as the implants settle into their new home.  Rely on your plastic surgeon to assist you with information, reassurance and potentially some muscle spasm medication if necessary.

Scott W. Vann, MD, FACS · Answer

Most patients still have some soreness after 14 days especially if under muscle placement. This should not be excessive. If so you should contact your surgeon for instructions.

It is very early postop and you will always have some discomfort during the first few weeks. Consult with your PS for advice but generally I recommend a supportive bra for the first 6 weeks to help with support and discomfort on moving. Check with your PS though.

Some discomfort, along the lower poles of the breasts especially, is quite commonly experienced as breast implants “settle”  at this stage in your recovery. Your plastic surgeon will always be your best resource for precise advice/reassurance. Best wishes.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Patients may have some discomfort at two weeks after surgery as the body heals. Every patient is different in how they heal.  If you are concerned, it is best to see your surgeon.

Brooke R. Seckel, MD, FACS (retired) · Answer

Pain or discomfort is common in the first 2-3 weeks after breast augmentation especially if your implants were placed beneath the chest muscle.  However if you have an unusual appearance, swelling, bruising it is best that she see her plastic surgeon for an examination and diagnosis.
