Is pain after capsulectomy and new breast implants to be expected after 12 weeks? There is no sign of infection.

Asked By:Lizabeth601 in Toronto, ON

I had 24 year old, 270cc implants removed 3 months ago, grade 4 contracture, with bilateral capsulectomy, and implants replaced. I had a normal recovery, but I started having pain in both breasts again a week ago, more so in my dominant side, reaching my axilla and behind my nipple. It is not severe, only worrisome. I can feel the implant edge-lower pole, on my dominant side and I am concerned that I am harming it. I was advised it is nerve pain and it will settle down before 6 months.
