How long can I expect the incisions (under breast) to be sore? My dominate is pretty sore but no swelling, redness, or heat coming from it. I was given Gabapentin but DO NOT want to take that anymore. I know I can take Tylenol but anything else I can do to help maybe alleviate that? 1 week post op. Also don't want to take the 4000 mg per day of Tylenol she said I can take. My stomach wasn't handling that very well! Thanks!

Answer: How long should I expect the incision under my breast to be sore?
Since elective surgery is just that, elective, I'd recommend that you wait until you are off the medication. This is a comprehensive list of things to avoid but notice that surgery is not on the list:Do not take vitamin supplements containing vitamin A while you are taking Accutane.
Do not ...
Breast augmentation with implants or fat transfer may be an option for you. The cost varies from region to region but expect costs to range between $5 to $12K depending on what you desire and where you are seeking it.
Best of luck
