Hi, I had a breast augmentation surgey exactly 3 weeks ago. I had 430CC silicon implants placed under teh muscle. I'm still in pain. my skin feels like i am sunburnt. the pain moves from the side of my breast to the nipple and area around the scar. the scars are okay and i do not have any fever or anything not normal. i sometimes feel like im having more fatigue than before the surgey. oh and i went back to smoking 10 days after the opeartion. any thoughts?
Answer: Healing after breast augmentation All sounds fairly normal. When concerned, always best to be checked by your surgeon. Smoking is not an issue. At 3 weeks you are about 15 percent healed, settled, shaped, softened, dropped and fluffed.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and AuthorRealSelf Distinguished Hall of Fame Inductee

Answer: Breast feels like sunburn Thanks for your inquiry, but without an exam it is hard to advise if there is any problem. In general it is not uncommon to have some unusual sensations as the nerves heal, but please see your surgeon to discuss.

Answer: 3 weeks PO. My skin feels like a sunburn. The pain moves from the side of my breast to the nipple and around the scar. Thoughts? It is normal to feel a burning sensation after surgery. This is due to the severed nerves during the procedure and may take up to a few months to resolve on its own. Sharp, shooting pain is also a common manifestation of temporary nerve damage and should resolve as you heal over time. Just be sure to watch out for signs of infection and keep the incisions clean and dry.

Answer: Burning pain 3 weeks post op after BA Greetings from Dubai ! Normally such pain can be caused if the skin available is not enough for the size of implant used and its stretched beyond its limits then the pain will be something like this but will improve over time
