Three Months Post OP. Should I Still Be Having Pain Around the Incision I'm One of my Breast?

Question

I had BA three months ago. Everything seemed to be going well. My right breast has dropped a little lower than my left and I am starting to have an aching pain around the incision. Is this normal or should I call my doctor?

Michael Horn, MD · Answer

Typically, patients do not have aching pain three months after breast augmentation. If you still have pain three months after surgery. I suggest that you follow up with your surgeon with an appointment.

At this point after surgery, it would be unusual to have continued pain around the incision. You will be best served  following up with your plastic surgeon.

It would be unusual to have pain at an incision site 3 months postop. Itching or pulling are quite common. A simple checkup with your plastic surgeon is recommended.
