Is a burning feeling near incision normal?

Thanks for your question...Burning sensation is often related to nerves regenerating. Continue to monitor it. If you are still concerned please speak to your PS again.You can learn more on our social media (Instagram and Snapchat): @realdrsix.

Thank you for your question.  The sensation that you are describing at the incision site is quite normal.  As healing progresses, these sensations will subside.  Any increase in pain, swelling or redness should be discussed with your plastic surgeon.  Good luck.

Thank you for your question.It's possible that you are having nerve pain that often can take up to three months to resolve. I would not advise performing upper body exercise for 12 weeks and when you do, ease into it slowly.  Typically, the more you strengthen your pectoral muscles the implants can possibly be pulled up into an unnatural and possibly uneven position. Andrew T.

The symptoms that you are experiencing can be very normal, especially being less than a week out from surgery. It's also normal to have more burning/pain on one side more so than the other. At this point, I would follow all the postop instructions that you were given. The symptoms will soon subside. Best of luck. 

Good afternoon,A burning sensation after this procedure is very common with our patients. This is a normal part of the healing process. If the pain gets worse and the incision starts getting red, please consult your plastic surgeon.Thanks and have a nice day.
