Is pain and tightness normal 8 days post op? Is it normal to have good days and bad days? (Photo)

Hi there, and thanks for your
question. Everything that you're describing seems perfectly normal, so there's
no reason to be anxious. Keep in mind that recuperation following surgery
doesn't usually follow a totally linear path, especially when you're still as
early in the process as you are now. "Bad days" of increased soreness
or a sensation of tightness are an inevitable part of the healing process as
your breast tissue expands to accommodate the implants and therefore no cause
for alarm — especially because you opted for submuscular placement. Follow your
surgeon's instructions and be patient. You'll be feeling better before you know
it.

Thank you very much for your enquiry. Eight days following surgery it is quite
normal to have variation in how you feel with some days feeling better than
others. From your photograph your breasts look to
be healing well with good symmetry and there doesn’t look to be anything
untoward with them. Generally if the situation does worsen and
you get significantly more discomfort it is worthwhile scheduling a
consultation with your Plastic Surgeon just to check that all is well. I do hope the area continues to improve and
become less uncomfortable.
