4 months post op BA with sharp shooting pains. What's going on? I had 700cc under the muscle & the incision was inframammary.

Thank you for your question.  The pain you are describing is quite normal and likely caused by muscle stretch and normal nerve healing.  Follow up with your plastic surgeon should you experience increased pain or swelling.  Best of luck.

It is not unusual to have occasional zings in one breast only, off and on for 9 to 12 months, after breast augmentation surgery. When concerned, always a good idea to check with your surgeon. At 4 months, you are about 80 to 85 percent healed.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

It is not uncommon for patients to experience pain after surgeries even months later. It is often self limiting and it improves over time. Most commonly it is attributable to scar tissue around small nerve endings and it will improve. Best practice is to follow up with your surgeon to address any of your concerns.

First of all thank you for the question.  You are still early in the healing process.  This sounds like normal nerve pain.  You may have burning sensations, sharp pains, zings or zaps.  It can take time for this to resolve as you heal.  If concerned, I would recommend following up with your surgeon.  Best of Luck.

Congratulations on your recent surgery and thank you for sharing your question about your post operative recovery and results after your surgery.  Final results can take 6-12 months for all the swelling to subside.  At our office we actually see all of our surgery patients the very next day after surgery and then again at two weeks and beyond. We enjoy staying closely connected to our patients and enjoy giving the extra attention and service. Your concerns are important to discuss directly with your board certified plastic surgeon.  He or she will appreciate the open communication and will want to help you. I hope this is helpful and wish you all the very best.  Sincerely, Brian S. Coan, MD, FACS

You are still early in your healing process, and your nerves are healing as well, You are having some shooting pains from your nerves. You also have two different breasts that may not heal exactly alike. This pain will get better with time. However, please let your surgeon check you and make sure everything is healing well.

Hello and thank you for your question.   This is quite normal after surgery, nerves are waking up and one side can hurt more then the other, it's not always symmetrical healing.  

it is very common to have pain or numbness more on one side than the other. Also shooting or burning pains are common as well. These almost always get less and less frequent with time. Be patient, stretch, massage and be active, will help things resolve sooner.hang in there,david berman md
