I thought I was starting to feel better but at day 5 I started getting a burning sensation down the back of my right arm and into my arm pit. Now anytime I lay down the burning pain is unbearable. Also I notice the side of my right breast is completely numb while my left feels more normal. I know that during healing weird pains and sensations will arise but making sure it's not something to worry about? Thank you.

Answer: Day 6 Post Breast Augmentation-Intense Burning & Numbness w/One Breast It is still quite early in your recovery. Your #healing will continue for 2-3 months for the early period. This includes some #swelling, bruising, malposition, color differences. Sensation may also be abnormal and scars will be evolve. #Tingling, burning or shooting pains, which will disappear with time and should not alarm you and indicate regeneration of the sensory nerves. If these sensations cause pain, repeated, local self-massage per your surgeon's instructions may help. However, #textured implants do not require breast #massage and if massage is recommended, you will be informed more about it during your post-operative visit. Further, if you have concerns about your healing, or pain that you question to be unusual, it is important to call your plastic surgeon to discuss these further asked to be examined.

Answer: Post Op Sensation Loss Hello,Nerve compression or damage can cause the sensations you describe and luckily, they will typically resolve over a period of 3-6 months as inflammation leaves and nerves repair. If you are experiencing sudden, intense discomfort it is best you discuss directly with your Plastic Surgeon.All the best
