So So Happy That I Went Through with This Surgery

WORTH IT

I am so happy with my results at the 5 almost 6 month mark. I feel so much more confident...I don't have to shop at plus size stores anymore. And I don't have constant "boob sweat" and rashes. I am a happy girl working on trying to get in shape and get rid of that tummy!! I love being able to wear my shirts without feeling self-conscious. I cried at my 6 week check up when I told Dr. Ladak what a difference the procedure had made in my level of body confidence. I am so impressed with the way my scars are healing and I had no feeling in my left nipple for the first 5 months, but the feeling has come back now. The scars are healing nicely and fading so that they are almost impossible to see around the nipple area. He is a talented physician!!

You are looking great! I am about 4 weeks post op. The pics that you posted of stuff that someone considering the surgery might need are really helpful. I am just about to transition to a more supportive post surgical bra. I was at work 2 weeks post op (desk job) so this is really the first time that I have had a chance to shop for something. My healing is coming along fine. Post op pictures can freak ppl out; I will just say don't let them deter you. It passes.

It's probably nerves. I have some now and I had surgery on the 14 th of June making me 2 weeks 2 days post op. Your nipple nerves are probably saying hi. :)

6 Weeks Post Op Sharp Pain Right Breast

User Avatar

I have a question... I have resumed a lot of my normal activities just within the last week. Energy is finally better and I did 3 half days of substitute teaching last Wed-Friday. On Friday I carried a box of final exams quite a distance. It probably weighed about 15 pounds. Then I came home and had a nap. I fell asleep on my right side (have still been sleeping on my back) for about 2 hours. When I woke up on Friday I had a sharp stabbing pain like a needle jabbing into my breast. All that shows is a small red area beside the nipple. But it's probably the sharpest pain I have experienced in a very specific area in all the time post op. ANY IDEAS?? I'm taking Motrin and Tylenol and it helps stop it for awhile, otherwise the pain is constant. Cold pack helps. I don't have a fever and energy is good. I see my doctor Wednesday for 6 week check up. But I work the next 2 days and I'm a bit concerned about what this might be.

I'm two months PO and still get occasional jabbing pain like you describe. Internal healing still going on and I figure nerves still reconnecting. That said, if you're unsure call your doctors office and explain. I'm sure they can reassure you and advise. All the best hon xx

I actually did get something like that in two areas on either side of my breasts. They went away but come back from time to time. I call them my phantom pain as they are not on an incision or anything. So no - you're not alone in this.

My educated guess is you may have had an internal stitch let go. Maybe from the lifting or sometimes they just do. no biggie. As they dissolve they get weaker and sometimes open up earlier than others. They use different types of sutures so they dissolve at different time intervals.
