3 months post op with silicone implants. My breasts are still sore. I sleep with a bra on becasue if I dont they hurt like they are pulling in my chest. They look great but my left breast feels different than my right one. Its softer than the other one. I still massage them daily. My right one feels like it's part of my body. The other has felt weird since surgery. When will they not be sore and feel normal? And they itch like crazy and have acne , Is this normal?
Answer: Surgery Go back and be seen by your surgeon. Hopefully, you are not developing a capsule. If you are, it still can be treated non-surgically. Use product to clear up the acne. You don't want that bacteria to infect your implants.

Answer: Soreness Dear Melly0611, you are still in healing process and it may take some time until you are fully healed. Most plastic surgeons will recommend you to wait at least 6 months. Until then follow your surgeon's instructions.

Answer: 3 months post op mastopexy and augmentation. When will they not be sore and feel normal? It's common to experience some soreness and discomfort for several months after a mastopexy (breast lift) with augmentation. Typically, the initial soreness begins to subside within a few weeks, but it can take 3 to 6 months or even longer for your breasts to feel more "normal" and for any lingering soreness to dissipate completely. The healing process varies from person to person, so if you're still feeling sore at 3 months post-op, it's not unusual. However, the discomfort should gradually lessen over time. If you notice persistent pain, unusual swelling, or any other concerning symptoms, it’s important to consult with your plastic surgeon to ensure everything is healing as expected.

Answer: 3 months post op mastopexy and augmentation. When will they not be sore and feel normal? Soreness and discomfort are common after mastopexy (breast lift) and augmentation surgery, and the timeline for recovery can vary from person to person. Generally, most soreness and discomfort should significantly improve within the first few weeks to months after surgery as your body continues to heal. By three months post-op, you should notice a substantial reduction in soreness and start to feel more normal. However, full recovery and the complete settling of implants may take several months to a year. It’s essential to continue following your plastic surgeon’s post-operative instructions, attend follow-up appointments, and communicate any concerns or unusual symptoms with them to ensure a smooth recovery process.
