I'm two weeks post op and love my boobs! I love the shape, I love the size! My doctor said that they were no longer swollen, however they did get a little smaller than the first week! I was wondering if they are still going to shrink and if so how much? I don't want them to :( Also, sometime after a week post op my areola area and nipples became super sensitive and kinda burn! Is this normal? 325cc saline filled to 350cc over the muscle.
Answer: Breast Augmentation Recovery What you are describing all sounds very normal. I will typically tell my patients that after breast augmentation they may have pain for a day or two, soreness for a week or two, and it will take 2 to 3 months for their breasts to achieve their final shape and feel "back to normal". During the first week, the swelling and surgery may have actually caused your nipples and Ariel was to be relatively no. Now that those nerves are waking back up as the swelling goes down you can experience a number of sensations which are normal. My patients have described this feeling as itching, burning, hot, cold, tickling, you name it. So that is normal and you should not be concerned. Over time your nipple sensation should be expected to normalize.As the swelling go down your breasts will drop and you may perceive them as decreasing in size. Unfortunately this process is most likely still happening in you. You can take two or three months for your breasts to settle into their final shape. Many patients will express a desire to have chosen a slightly larger implant once they undergo the process of recovery. You experience swelling, get used to it, and miss it when it's gone.

Answer: Sensitive nipples after augmentation Thank you for your question. Hypersensitivity to the nipple or other breast regions is normal after surgery. The nerves may have been stretched and transiently down for the count. As they wake up, they want to let you know they are still there by over signalling their presence. Hence very sensitive nipples. Things typically do resolve with time. In the meantime, you can take two approaches. Compression or tape to minimize friction on the nipples. The other approach could be desensitization with over stimulation (e.g. vibration).

Answer: 2 weeks post op of Breast Augmentation, my areola area & nipple became super sensitive & kinda burns. Is this normal? Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure; based on your description, it is likely that you will be pleased with the long-term outcome of the procedure performed. The hypersensitivity of the nipple/areola complexes that you describe is quite common and self limited; these concerns generally improve over the course of several weeks/months. Occasionally (rarely), I have seen hypersensitivity issues persists for close to one year. Best wishes.

Answer: Overly sensitive Nipples can be a temporary byproduct of breast augmentation. Patients with excess sensitivity of the nipples after breast augmentation can expect to see this improve over several weeks to months following the operation.

Answer: Nipples become sensitive for a little while are breast augmentation What you are describing is normal. The nipples swell after breast augmentation. This swelling causes the nipples to rub on clothing more and they can get a little irritated. It lasts maybe a week or two. By moisturizing or wearing a nipple pad over the area the rubbing will stop and the burning pain will resolve. Sometimes the nerves to the nipple are stretched and irritated from the surgery. If this is the case it also will likely resolve after a few weeks. Talk to your plastic surgeon if you are concerned.
