Post op pain 2 weeks after breast augmentation. Is this normal?

I wouldn't be alarmed by pain, especially if it is slowly improving.you do need to continue close follow up with your physician.  some issues such as infections or delayed bleeds can occur two weeks later.Most patients, however, who still have pain at two weeks, in my experience, are just a bit slower to heal but with close follow up will do well.

Greetings boobibear! Let's think positive. You just had major surgery on your breasts and it seems to be going really well. Occasional pain will come and go especially in the first 6 months as your skin stretches! This may be muscle spasm/tightness. Read more about recovery in the link below. Best, Dr. Aldo

I appreciate your question.I would recommend that you follow up with your surgeon so he/she can examine you and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan at this time.

The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.Best of luck!

Thank you for your question.Breast augmentation surgery is usually associated with a fairly quick recovery.However, keep in mind that the body heals over 6-12 months after surgery, and 2 weeks postop, you are still in the very early stage of healing.Limitation of activities, wearing appropriate postop bra, performing any postoperative massage as instructed by your physician, will allow the most rapid resolution of your recovery phase of healing.Good luck with the rest of your recovery!

Hello.
Thank you for your inquiry and congratulations on your surgery!
It is important to have an in-person medical assessment regarding this issue as it is difficult to determine virtually.
Continue to update your doctor in the matter and follow their post-op protocol.
It is important to get cleared by your doctor before engaging in specific physical activity before the 3 month healing period has ended as the healing stage is crucial for healthy results.

Our tips for recovery following breast augmentation are to wear a supportive sports bra for 3 months post-operative and refrain from lifting anything heavier than 10 lbs for 3 weeks as we don't want any strain at your incision sites. Make sure to keep the area of your stitches clean by cleansing with hydrogen peroxide daily. Showering is encouraged! But, no sitting in water for 2 weeks following surgery (no baths, hot tubs, pools etc.).
