Is it normal for incisions after BA to sting so much?

noni123May 16, 2015
I had my ba 3 days ago on the 13/5 and my insisions are stinging a lot. The pain killers don't really help the stinging. They usually take turns stinging. At the moment it's the right one. It's very painful however it's not bleeding or throbbing or swollen. I feel as if my suppression bra is rubbing on it however moving it and adjusting it does not help. Just wondering if I should be concerned and if this is common? Thankyou

When a silicone implant leaks it is most often due to "normal wear and tear" rather than one specific event.  If the implant edges are folded over onto itself within the pocket that is sits in it can create friction on the surface and wear down the shell of the implant.  An MRI is the...

The best way to feel assured about your implant choice is to size them using sizers in the office prior to surgery.  Using a thin bra with no cup and no padding and a tight/snug moderately colored tank top which shows your figure will help you visualize what your body shape and balance will...
