I had my breast augmentation 2 and a half weeks ago and when I lift my right arm I get a really bad burning sensation it feels like my skin is ripping apart. Is that normal and will it go away?
Answer: Pain after breast augmentation Hi,Thanks for posting your question. I am happy to try and help you. It is important to remember that a board certified plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to an accurate assessment of your situation, and concerns.Having said that, I am sorry to learn about your pain. It seems like you are having some nerve pain and maybe some muscle spasm. Sometimes after the surgery the patient does not move around a lot and things start to get tight and stiff. When this happens, there can be some aches. So really work on moving around, lifting your arms up and move the arms around. As for the positional pain, it could be nerve related and when the breast implants slides and hits the nerve it can cause a shooting pain towards your breast or even into your back. So do not worry, all of these pains will go away. If you feel something is wrong, you should absolutely call your PS.I hope you found this helpful. Have a great day.

Answer: Recovery after breast augmentation I prepare my patients prior to surgery to expect pain and discomfort and rest to minimize it. The recovery can take weeks and patients in general should expect a recovery that involves discomfort that is increased when you use your arms or lift.

Answer: Breast augmentation early post op, some advices: Thank you very much for this enquire.In my practice, after performing a BA I recommend to my patients to limit the movement of the arms for two weeks. After that, you can move your arms taking care and always with common sense. In this regard, it's not advisable to carry heavy weights to prevent the implant out of position, and allow the formation of the physiological capsule around the implant, also to avoid pain and breast swelling.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
