I went in for a breast augmentation 4 days ago. Today makes day 3 post op. I am 19, 5'6, 125 lbs and was originally a 32b. My surgeon did 300cc (L) and 340cc (R) under muscle. I've been taking my meds religiously but my pain level seems to be staying same. How long can i expect to feel such discomfort?

Answer: Wait for some time The final appearance, shape, and movement are not exactly the same as normal breasts. The surgically enlarged breasts do not move in the same way as normal breasts. They tend to be firmer. The contours are usually somewhat different than normal breasts. In some patients these discrepancies may be rather noticeable. Although every effort is made to place the implants symmetrically, complete symmetry is rarely achieved. Immediately after surgery, the breasts are swollen and firmer. The final shape and size is approximated after 2 to 3 months, but up to one year may be required for the end result.

Answer: 4 days post op, some advices: Thanks for the question. Its normal the swelling and pain at this point of your post op. In my practice, after performing a BA I recommend to my patients to limit the movement of the arms for two weeks. After that, you can move your arms taking care and always with common sense. In this regard, it's not advisable to carry heavy weights to prevent the implant out of position, and allow the formation of the physiological capsule around the implant, also to avoid pain and breast swelling.Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol.-
