Answer: Swelling and Nipple Sensitivity after Breast Augmentation It is common to still have nipple sensitivity and some swelling 4 weeks after breast augmentationWith time, over the course of a few months, the tightness will resolve, and most likely the nipple sensitivity will resolve as well. The good news is that you still have nipple sensation, although hypersensitivity of the nipples can definitely be annoying. Thanks for sharing your concerns, and hang in there!

Answer: Healing Time for Swelling, Tightness, and Sensitivity After Surgery? Every patient experiences a different recovery period; this variety makes generalizing difficult. The majority of patients will notice a significant decrease in swelling within the first 4-6 weeks post operatively. Hypersensitivity however may persist for several months. Best wishes; hopefully, you will be pleased with the long-term outcome of the procedure performed.

Answer: Really depends on your size and implant size... If you are a 5'0" gal with ultrahigh profile implants...you may be looking at a bit of a wait. Getting the muscles to relax is challenging. You might consider heat (moist washcloth in microwave for 30 seconds) on your chest and ibuprofen but the really factor thats going to make the difference is time. Good luck.

Answer: Tightness It depends on the size of the implants and if you are under the muscle, the bigger the implants the longer the recovery as it stretches the muscle more
