Why does my breast hurt so much after drain removal? Do I have nerve damage? Sharp, stinging, burning pain in breast.

My right breast had sharp pains depending upon how I moved. I had my drains taken out yesterday and it was incredibly painful for the right side. I hoped that it would subside shortly after removal, but I went home and iced it along with pain medication. I woke this morning with the same excruciating pain. I can't do things I was able to do yesterday and I feel like I took a step backward in recovery. This is the worst pain I've felt in the whole process.

Hello 269lex. Not sure whether use of MDMA is to blame for an unusual breast shape. You should discuss your concerns with your PS and see if there are any recommendations about your breasts. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO.

Almost all women have some asymmetry preop, and some or all of your asymmetry may very well be on that basis.   In any case, your breasts have a nice shape, and I would consider the asymmetry to be a very modest problem. Your implants appear to be centered behind the nipple: placing...

Hello and thanks for your post. You had very large breast implants (500 cc). I notice more pain and soreness with bigger breast implants. I would recommend you call your PS and see what they recommend, but it seems reasonable to me for you to me more comfortable. Best, Dr. ALDO.

Hello Ashley. Thanks for your post and photos. You have wound dehiscence, a condition that is very common with anchor pattern breast lift. There's nothing wrong with you. However, you need to change how you're taking care of the wound. Talk to your PS and consider switching to wet to dry...
