5 months post BA and lift: Still feeling small quick pains, and tingling - normal?

Question

I'm 5 months post from my breast lift with augmentation. I still feel sharp quick pain and experience numbing and tingly sensations especially at night. I sleep on my stomach a lot could this contribute to this?

Thanks for the question. 5 months is too early to say something. 6-12 months is enough time to see the permanent results for the breast lift operation. I wish you all the best.

Thanks for your inquiry.  As the nerves awaken in your breast you may experience more pain, numbness, etc.  Please see your surgeon to make sure everything is healing well.  Good Luck.

It is fairly typical to have these sensations after breast surgery and is likely due to superficial nerves re"learning" where they need to be. This typically resolves. All the best in your recovery,Dr. BlaggAustin, TX

Thanks for the question. At this point of your post op the swelling has to be minimal. In my practice, after performing a BA I recommend to my patients to limit the movement of the arms for two weeks. After that, you can move your arms taking care and always with common sense. In this regard, it's not advisable to carry heavy weights to prevent the implant out of position, and allow the formation of the physiological capsule around the implant, also to avoid pain and breast swelling. Kind regards

It is fairly common for patients to have so me sensory issues initially after surgery. As the swelling subsides and the breasts heal, usually sensory issues improve.
