I Wish to Thank the Specialists Who Posted Their Answers to my Previous Question About Recovery After Breast Lift. However, I wasn't clear enough about the post-operative pain I am still experiencing. My scars have faded (17 months since the surgery) and they are not sensitive to touch any more.

This started soon after the surgery and has only mildly improved since. There were no infections or complications post-surgery. Thank you.
