Got 400cc silicone gel implans 17 days ago and my right breast is still in pain (only right not both) I am still having to take vicodin. This does not seem normal although ps says it is . . . should I ask my gyn for an MRI ? is there anything I can do to have them fall into place sooner?

Answer: Is it normal to still have pain 17 days after breast augmentation? Thank you for your question.I'm sorry to hear you have having pain that is still requiring pain medication. Hopefully the amount of pain you are having has been somewhat decreasing from the time of your surgery. Slowly improving pain is typical after surgery. Everyone heals differently and at different rates. Sometimes patients will have pain that persists to 3 weeks and then random pains until about 6 weeks. However, it is important that your operating surgeon has had the opportunity to examine you to make sure there is not a complication developing. If your operating surgeon is following you closely and has examined you recently, I would trust their judgement as they have more knowledge about your specific surgery and anatomy. If you are still concerned, I would recommend you ask your operating surgeon if there is another plastic surgeon they would recommend for a second opinion.I hope this helps. Best wishes!William J.
