Can you use a heating pad on your back after Breast Augmentation?

Asked By:HoustonZTA in Tomball, TX

I am 4 days post-op of submuscular silicone implants. I have had a great amount of upper back pain. I'm not sure if it is from the surgery itself, or from laying on my back. I am a normal tummy sleeper. I've had my mom gently rub between my shoulder blades which gives temporary relief but I'm curious if I could lay on a heating pad for the back pain? Or is there any other remedy I could try?
