Is this pain normal 8 weeks after breast augmentation?

Since very individual processes pain differently, it is impossible to comment on what is normal. It is common to have asymmetric pain. But since yours on the one side seems to not be diminishing, I think it would be smart to be assessed in person by your surgeon. Always best to err on the side of caution -- Dr. Nazarian

I appreciate your question.

Patients can experience pain in different degrees for up to one year following surgery.  I would recommend that you contact your surgeon so he/she can examine you 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!

After a breast augmentation, it is not unusual to have discomfort in only one breast. At six weeks it should be improving. If this has been a sudden change then I would get into see your plastic surgeon as quickly as possible, otherwise I would at least follow up with a phone call since you do not have an appointment for another month.

Remember, no two breasts ever look the same or heal at the same rate. Some discomfort can occur at 8 weeks but if you are experiencing intense pain, best to follow up with your operating surgeon so you can be seen in person and properly examined/evaluated.

What you are experiencing is within the range of normal.  If you are still concerned, I would call your surgeon's office.Best Wishes,nana Mizuguchi

Hi Lv2015, thank you for your question. It is normal to have some discomfort intermittently for up to a year post operatively. Your breast are not identical, one breast may feel great from the beginning and the other may have pain. Best of luck.
