I had a breast lift and augmentation 2 weeks ago under the muscles. On one side, I am having a searing, burning pain in 2 different places. I know it's from the muscles stretching, but I'm worried about how long the pain and swelling will continue for. I am having to take Ibuprofen and Vicodan throughout the day still. What can I do to lessen the pain and swelling?

Answer: Pain After Breast Lift and Augmentation - Is This Normal? It is very common to experience the searing and burning pain following a breast lift and augmentation. It can also differ between sides with one breast being more uncomfortable than the other, and also vary from day to day. This type of pain can come on suddenly and spontaneously and will become less over time. If you are concerned or the pain persists follow up with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Pain after breast augmentation Prolonged pain requiring narcotics for 2 weeks is unusual after breast augmentation. You should see your surgeon and discuss where and when you are experiencing the pain. Assuming there is nothing which obviously wrong, you will most likely need to just give it some time. Discuss alternatives to narcotics, such as gabapentin (which often helps with nerve related pain), and/or a muscle relaxant.
