I had a breast augmentation 5 weeks ago. 400cc saline under muscle. I had little to no breast tissue before. I have had no pain from surgery until recently. I have been experiencing severe pain for about a week now under the incision. pain is constant and increases by simply coughing or laughing. I can't get in to see my surgeon until next week. Is this normal?

Answer: Pain 5 weeks post op BA Thanks for your question and congratulations on your procedure! I would say that pain this far from surgery to start all of the sudden is somewhat unusual. Did you start working out again? Are you wearing a new bra (with a wire)? Is the incision raised or hypertrophic? If it is similar on both sides I would feel better telling you not to worry. If it is only on one side you should contact your PS sooner, especially with the holiday weekend coming up. Best of luck!

Answer: It may be normal I would not panic as this may be normal. Patients start doing more activities after the 3rd week and start having more pain. You should speak directly to your plastic surgeon so you can get in earlier and have your concerns attended to.
