The pain is the worst in the mornings. It feels like somebody is stabbing my armpit while It pulses. It resides through the day, but I can always feel the pain from It. This pain is making me so uncomfortable and 8 days out I feel more pain from my armpit than from my breast augmentation. I am a small girl. 110 pounds and 5’5, I got lipo of the armpit because I had random fat pockets there and with my breast augmentation felt like perfect time.

Answer: I had axillary fat rolls removed at the time of #breastaugmentation and it hurts. Normal? The axillary region is highly sensitive and liposuction hurts, so it is very plausible that you'd have disproportionate pain in that area after removal of the fat pads. Check with your surgeon to make sure you don't have fluid collections (seromas) or bleeding (hematoma) that could be responsible for unusually severe pain. Management of normal postop liposuction pain can include narcotic pain meds, muscle relaxants and other maneuvers like heating pads, etc. under the guidance of your plastic surgeon. Nerves can also be "stunned" by working in their vicinity and can cause a "lightning"-like sensation zapping in the area periodically; this is sometimes treated by Neurontin, a drug for neuropathic pain. Your surgeon should have some approaches to try to reduce your discomfort and is the best person to judge whether there is cause for concern or other intervention.
