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

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.).
