I had severe pain on my left breast that was caused by the stretching of the nerves, inflammation around the nerves, and swelling. I was prescribe to take steroids which alleviate most of the pain but I currently still feel that my left breast is still very sensitive (more pain and swelling) when I move minimal such as driving or washing dishes. When I rise up from my sleep, I can feel a some pain when the implant is moving downards. Could I Have hematoma? I am afraid to have capsular contracter
Answer: Should I Still Have Pain Five Weeks After A Breast Augmentation?
Every surgery if different, every person's perception of pain is different, but severe pain five weeks after a breast augmentation is incredibly unusual in my experience. You need to see your plastic surgeon and have a complete evaluation. If the pain doesn't subside in the next couple of weeks, a referral to a pain management specialist might be appropriate. Pain always subsides and things always get better, but you shouldn't have to suffer until things get better.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Pain Post Breast Augmentation At 5 weeks postop, you are still early in your recovery period and are likely to experience occasional mild to moderate pain. You will continue healing over the next 6-12 months, and as you do so your pain will be less and less. Sometimes women will have tenderness at the inframammary incisional scar or slightly below it. This area may feel firm or may even look like a raised “guitar string”. This may be what you are experiencing 5 weeks into your recovery. Anti-inflammatory analgesic like Advil or Naprosyn and massaging of the area can be helpful. I expect that the pain will go away over time. Always follow-up with your plastic surgeon so that he or she can determine that your recovery continues on track.

Answer: Pain after surgery This is usually the result of nerve regeneration, and will often subside over time. Tingling is a good sign and it most likely means that sensation is returning. Changes in sensation are normally temporary and resolve in the weeks or months following surgery. It may be a little early for capsular contracture, but you should definitely see your surgeon just in case.

Answer: 5 weeks post op pain Thank you for the question and photo. You're still in the recovery stage after surgery. You have very nice results and by your photos it does not appear that you have a significant hematoma. However, an examination is necessary to determine that. Capsular contracture could result in pain particularly with movement of your hands. Your surgeon should evaluate you and examine you to determine if you have developed capsular contracture. Also, caffeine and bromine (in chocolate) can irritate breast tissues and make them very sensitive. If you take large amounts of either, try cutting back or stopping. Visit your surgeon and keep us posted wit what happens. Wish you the best and quick recovery!An in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to assess your needs and provide true medical advice.
