Burning sensations 6 days post explant, when bending over. Why does it happen?

Thank you for your question.The burning sensation your are experiencing is normal healing and nerve regeneration after surgery.  This will come and go over the next couple weeks.  It can 6 months or longer for nerves to heal after surgery.  The feeling will continue to subside, it just takes time.  Rest assured it is normal healing.  Good luck.

Burning sensations are related to nerve pain. This would not be uncommon six days post op as your nerves are healing after surgery. The sensation should continue to improve as you progress through recovery. If it does not be sure to speak with your surgeon.

Thank you for your question.   After an explantation the nerves of the skin can be stretched as a result of swelling and the surgical maneuvers required during a capsulectomy. This stretching irritates the nerves which can cause a number of different nipple and breast skin sensations including increased/decreased sensitivity or a burning/electrical feeling. These normally resolve spontaneously given enough time.  Hang in there and be sure to mention these issues to your surgeon during your post-operative appointments.
