Achiness and tightness 6 months after breast lift with implants - is this normal?

Thanks so much for your inquire,

Some residual achiness and tightness can be normal up to six months after a breast lift with implants, as tissues are still healing and adjusting to the changes. However, by this point, significant discomfort should have largely subsided for most patients.

If the achiness and tightness feel more intense or have worsened, it’s a good idea to consult your surgeon to rule out complications.

Sincerely,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol

It can be normal to experience some residual discomfort or aches six months after breast surgery. While many patients feel much better by this time, factors like the type of surgery, healing process, and individual sensitivity can influence recovery. I recommend being evaluated by your plastic surgeon to rule out any other contributing factors.

Thank you for your query. Some achiness and tightness is not unusual for several months after surgery. It should however be improving at this stage. Please have your surgeon examine you and help you with all your concerns. All the best!
