I had my BA on Monday 12/11. I got under the muscle and incision under my breast. For the last 2 days I have been having a burning/stinging feeling at one of my incision sites. It occurs when I get up or move in a certain way. I called my PS office they said it is just nerves but I’m still concerned. There is no swelling/redness/heat but I can see some old blood under the steri stripes.

Answer: Breast Augmentation and Pain 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. Lyos, MD, FACS

Answer: Incision burning 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.
