Is it normal for one breast to hurt more than the other? 9 days post op.

Hi ninaja555,

I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing pain following your surgery. It is not uncommon to experience pain a few weeks after breast augmentation surgery and the sensation can exhibit more in one breast than the other. It would be best that you visit your plastic surgeon for proper assessment and intervention to lessen your discomfort, as every surgeon has different approaches in pain management.

Thank you very much for your question and
congratulations on your recent breast augmentation. It is normal for your
breasts to heal at different rates after a breast augmentation. One side may
settle faster and the right/left breast may be more tender than the other.
However, as pain can be a sign of larger issues, it is important to discuss
your situation with your operating surgeon. I recommend contacting your
physician for an in-person follow-up as soon as possible

Thank you for your questionIt is normal to have asymmetrical pain post op BA. However, please double check with your surgeon to discuss your concerns.Regards

Thanks for your inquiry, but without an exam it is hard to advise, please call your surgeon to discuss, good luck.  

Hello and thank you for the question. It's not uncommon to have more pain on one side than the other. I would communicate these concerns with your surgeon. It's important that you have ongoing follow-ups under the care of a qualified plastic surgeon to guide you through recovery. Best,Pejman Aflaki, M.D.Johns Hopkins-trained plastic surgeon
