Causes of pain after breast augmentation surgery

Breast augmentation surgery is a cosmetic surgery that changes the shape and size of the chest by implanting a prosthesis in the chest. The incision of chest skin and tissue during the operation will lead to a certain degree of trauma, so a certain degree of pain will be felt after the operation.

First, postoperative pain is mainly caused by surgical incision and implanted prosthesis. The incision will affect the nerve endings and blood vessels around the chest, leading to inflammatory reaction and traumatic pain. At the same time, in the process of implant, the chest tissue is stretched and expanded, which will compress and stretch the surrounding tissue, causing discomfort.

Secondly, postoperative pain may also be related to the process of postoperative recovery. After breast augmentation surgery, attention should be paid to rest and recovery to avoid strenuous activities and stress. The chest has a long rest time, which will also lead to pain.

In the first few days after the operation, the pain is most obvious, and you may need to rely on analgesic drugs to relieve discomfort. Later, as the wound heals and inflammation subsides, the pain will gradually reduce.

The degree of postoperative pain varies from individual to individual. Generally speaking, pain will be different because of the degree of trauma and personal pain tolerance. Most patients will feel mild to moderate pain, but a few patients may have more severe pain.

It should be noted that other pain related discomfort may occur after surgery, such as tightness, pain and temporary sensitivity. Most of these discomfort will gradually disappear within a few weeks after the operation.
