I had my second breast augmentation 4/29/2021. I went larger,under the muscle, inframammery. Since last July (2023) I’ve experienced random bits of pinches, stings, pains in the sides, tops, nipple, sometimes armpit. It would go away after several days for a bit and then come back. Here recently it’s been for a solid month of pains like this daily. I have had 2 ultrasounds and an mri of the breast and all have come back clear. However this pain is annoying and it always has me in my worries!!

The issue that concerns you may be related to your pregnancy. The breast tissue undergoes changes during pregnancy and breastfeeding and then changes again afterwards. The tissues may have thinned, allowing the edges of the implant to be seen.
It's important to know that your assumption that a breast implant will lift the breast is not correct. Most people think this but it is not true. Breast implants don't lift the breast regardless of their size. If you were to only get a breast augmentation rather than a lift your results would...
Thanks for your question!
Four weeks is plenty of time to heal before your trip. If you are more comfortable, and it will make you less anxious/nervous, wait to have the surgery until you return from your trip. Best wishes!
