Thank you for your question andcongratulations on your surgery! After a reduction the nerves of theskin are stretched as a result of swelling and the tightening of the skin once the breast tissue has been removed. This stretching irritates the nerves which can cause a numberof different nipple and breast skin sensations including increased/decreasedsensitivity or a burning/electrical feeling. These normally resolvespontaneously given enough time. Hang in there and be sure tomention these issues to your surgeon during your post-operative appointments.
It's hard to say what's going on without photos and more information. Although burning sensations are common after surgery, it is important that you contact your surgeon to inform him or her of any changes to your condition. Good luck.
Congratulations on having undergone the breast reduction procedure. Whether or not what you are experiencing is a "normal" part of the healing process cannot be determined online. Your plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to an accurate assessment, advice, or meaningful reassurance. Follow up with him/her with your concerns; preferably see him/her in person, earlier than already scheduled, if necessary. Best wishes.
Thank you very much for your question.It is not uncommon for people to have burning sensations after surgery, as the nerves are stretched and swollen a bit. This is almost always temporary, and will go away with time. I would continue to follow up with your surgeon closely, and if the discomfort worsens, call your doctor to discuss the issue. Best of luck!
