10 days post-op. Full P 385cc Natrelle submuscle. Recovery has been excruciating. I had thick muscular pecs. The day of surgery I felt a strong burning sensation in my sternal area. There was a pocket of fluid that would disappear when depressed. My PS told me he had injected some local anesthesia into the pockets.
