Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry to hear of your pain. Unfortunately without an in-person examination it is difficult to offer advice. I would return to your surgeon to check on your current results and discuss your concerns. As they know the full details of your recovery they should be able to provide you with the best information. Best wishes.

Answer: It’s been 9 months since my breast augmentation. I now have pinching and pain when I massage my right breast. Thoughts? This is a very rare postoperative sensory nerve scarring or entrapment maybe. Only in person detailed examination by an experienced boarded PS could offer a determination of possible dx and treatment options.
