hello ycbearIt is common for patients to feel some pain after the procedure but as always you should check with your surgeon. #pain #pos-op

Dear ycbear,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

An examination is recommended to properly assess your pain.  Contact your surgeon to request an appointment.  Some pain is expected after surgery, but it should be manageable with medication.  If it is not, your surgeon needs to be notified.
