Topical Pain Reliever Ok After BA?

A topical pain medication is unlikely to give you any relief after a breast augmentation.  Topical pain medications get absorbed by the skin but will be unlikely to penetrate to the underlying muscle where most of the pain is likely arising from.  But, a topical pain med is unlikely to cause any harm so you probably could try it.  It would be a good idea to ask your surgeon first.

I have no experience with topical a after breast augmentation. If the implant is placed  under the muscle then I would be surprised to find out that it could be absorbed deep enough to effect the intercostal nerves that are responsible for pain after surgery. But let me know I will pass it on to my patients.
