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.

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.

Thank you for your question.Burning sensations are not uncommon when you have had a total capsulectomy as it is a big procedure more so than just having implants put in. Because there is more tissue trauma and disturbance to the nerves it will mean that it can take a while to settle, you may find that it takes several weeks for the sensations to settle.If you are at all worried go back and see your surgeon.Good luck
