I'm wearing my garments and massaging as instructed, by the end of the day my breast are starting to feel softer. I'm typically a side sleeper but am still having trouble getting comfortable so I've been sleeping propped up on my back. When I wake my breast feel so sore, high and hard as rocks. They are stiff and tender to touch for a few hours upon waking and then after a while they aren't as sensitive and are able to me massaged without discomfort. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

Answer: Breast implants As you stand all day gravity pulls fluid toward your feet. When you recline to sleep. that fluid redistributes itself through your body. That is why we all wake up with puffy eyes every morning. Since you just had breast surgery, that area is inflamed and swells every night, causing it to be tight in the morning. After you get up, the swelling gradually goes down as the day goes on. My patients find moving the implants up and down in the pocket immediately after waking up helps the tightness. It will stop.Good luck,Greg Sexton, M.D.Columbia, S.C.

Answer: Soreness And Stiffness Post Breast Augmentation #Discomfort varies per person following a #BreastAugmentation. As healing will continue for 2-3 months, swelling, bruising, malposition and color differences are common. Sensation may also be abnormal and scars will be evolve. Tingling, burning or shooting #pains will disappear with time and should not alarm you. It is simply a result of the regeneration of your sensory nerves. If these sensations cause pain, repeated, local self-massage per your surgeon's permission may help.If my patients have concerns that their healing or pain are unusual, it is important for them to call the office and discuss these concerns or come in to be examined.
