Sharp pain under right breast.

Has anyone experienced a sharp pain under either breast? It's close to the incision but not on the actual cut. It was tender a day or two post op but went away. Now all of a sudden it's back and much worse. It's very tolerable but still worrisome. Any ideas what it could be? I'm a little over a week post.

Im also inclined to call them healing pains. I am at 4 months and have very little to no discomfort. But it went on for 3 months regularly. Just watch that you're not overdoing it. As far as bloating goes, check your sodium and dairy intake, it may be part food intake. I ate lots of pineapple as it helps eliminate swelling.

4 days Post-Op

Like I said I'm for 4 days post op and feeling GREAT! The only pain I have is right when I wake up and it's more of a tightness then actual pain. Two small issueses I am having though is that even with the Valium I can only stay asleep for a few hours at a time. Makes me pretty groggy through out the day. The other is the bloating. I'm super bloated and don't know how it fix it. (Any advice is more then welcome) Oh well though, if that's the price of getting great boobs I'm more then willing to pay it!! It already seems like they're dropping and taking shape too. I couldn't be happier!! I'm just hoping they don't shrink too much.

I am glad to see you are happy and feeling ok (well ok, given the situation of recovering from major surgery.) Giving me confidence in Dr. Gottleib!

I highly recommend him! Im still very happy with my tummy tuck he did and have so far loved the BA process.

Feeling so much better then yesterday!! I won't lie yesterday was a pretty rough one. It wasn't so much the pain but the tightness. So far I'm loving my 550's and glad I went up a little :)

Wonderful! They'll settle into place very nicely.

Oh the tightness is borderline intolerable once that medicine starts to fade! But you look amazing! Can't wait see what you look like once they drop and fluff :)
