What is the rib pain after breast revision/lift?

Thanks for your question! What you're describing is actually fairly common; happens with my own patients after doing revisional surgery. The pain comes from tacking the soft tissues to the chest wall, it really usually does resolve within weeks. A medication like Neurontin may help; check with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck to you!

hello brittannr  Regeneration of the sensory nerves is accompanied by tingling, burning, or shooting pains which disappear with time and are nothing to be alarmed about. If, however, swelling, redness, infection, or drainage accompanies this, then you will need to see the doctor at the office. #pain #lift

Correction for bottoming out as you describe (tacking "them up really good") may involve placing sutures internally between the soft tissues along the bottom edge of your breasts and anchoring them to your chest wall.  It's typical to have pain as you describe after surgery, sometimes on one side more than the other, but it usually subsides in a few weeks.   Since your surgery was only a moth ago I suspect this will gradually resolve with time.
