Is localised pain close to sternum 3 months post op normal? (Photo)

I appreciate your question.

Since there has been a change in your post op course, please contact your surgeon so he/she can examine you and recommend most appropriate treatment plan at this time.



The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.

Best of luck!

Sadly, this isn't something that any of us can diagnose online. It could be any number of things such as a stretched nerve. Schedule an appointment to see your surgeon in person so that he or she can assess the situation. Sorry that you are in pain -- Dr. Nazarian

It seems that your implants are very tight in your body and that is causing areas of pain where the nerves are on stretch.  I would massage the implants and keep them supported.  Return to your surgeon to make sure there are no other issues of concern.  Best Wishes!!

Significant pain three months after breast augmentation is unusual. The presence of redness raises the possibility of an infection. This should be reported to your surgeon.

Things can still be healing and changing months after your surgery. Hang in there! As long as the shape and feel are improving week to week, however slowly, there is still hope for the final outcome. Ask you plastic surgeon if there are any compression garments, stretches or massaging exercises that can help speed your recovery.
