Breast pain after breast augmentation

The intensity and length of the pain in the breasts after surgery differs from patient to patient. Some patients are able to tolerate more intense pain, whereas others can’t tolerate even minor pain.
The pain associated with breast augmentation normally exists for the first 48-72 hours following the surgery. It results from the incision and injury to your tissue, muscles, blood vessels, and nerves. This type of pain is normal and will soon subside. The pain can be overcome with the use of painkillers.

The second type of pain associated with breast augmentation is that resulting from the implant stretching the skin. No matter if the implant is placed underneath or above the breast muscle, it will place pressure on the skin. This type of pain is initially intense and like a pinch. After the first 24 hours, it will subside as your skin and muscle gradually accommodate the implant.

When the skin is stretched, it may have effects on your nerves that pass through the skin. Particularly, the fourth intercostal nerve that makes your nipples and medial areas of the breasts sensitive can be affected by the surgery. Due to the stretch of this nerve by the implant, you may experience pain in specific areas of your breasts. This pain is normally mild and will disappear within a few weeks.
