Is Significant Breast Pain After Augmentation & Mastopexy Standard?
PistolaroApr 8, 2009
My wife is 8 days postop and is experiencing significant left breast pain. Pain comes and goes and is described as stabbing burning sensation. Drugs and muscle relaxers don't really help. The left breast has not dropped as much as the right and she's concerned that this extreme pain (8 out of 10 scale) won't dissipate. Surgeon says that it's a rare, but normal experience that the pain will go away over time that it's relative to a stretched nerve from the under muscle implant. What's your input? What will help expedite resolution?
