Is still may have some information even three months after breast augmentation which would explain the pain. This should get better with time and with anti-inflammatories. Sub muscular placement is more prone to prolonged convalescence.

Steven Yarinsky, MD, FACS · Answer

Your padded bra may be putting too much pressure on the breast sensory nerves. Tenderness such as you have experienced is not abnormal after augmentation. You may wish to try resizing/refitting your bras which may eliminate the problem. Or your discomfort may wax and wane and ultimately will likely disappear over the course of the next 6-9 months.

Dennis Hurwitz, MD, FACS · Answer

You appear to have an excellent result. Normal nerve regeneration after BA often has tender and sensitive spots. Avoid underwires and padded bras until that goes away, but some support is needed.

Jeffrey Zwiren, MD · Answer

It is possible that the implant or pressure from the bra is irritating the sensory nerves that supply the breast. Generally this type of pain will feel like a deep burn or ache. If it does not get better over then next 3 months you should be examined again.

Cynthia Disla, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

The inflamatory process itself is of 6 month to 1 year , a very discret inflamatory process is still going on after 3 months and with the contact with the bra maybe there are places of the breast that response with reaction of inner inflamation. try to use cotton br without padded at least for 6 months
