I am one day post op. My breasts are tight and sore which I know is normal. But they are itchy as well. Itchy around the bottom crease and near my armpits. Is this normal? The insicion was done under my breast where the crease is. I guess it feels like a wound healing (which is often accompanied with itchiness). Just wanted to check, as I have not found a single post where women talk about itching around the breast right after the operation. My post op appt is not for another 4 days.
