Common Feelings after Breast Augmentation Surger

Posted by Mr. Sultan Hassan on February 13th, 2017

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that enhances the size, shape, or symmetry of the breasts through breast implants. If you plan to go through breast augmentation, here are the common feelings that you might experience after the surgery:

1. Swelling and Bruising

You can expect your breasts to swell and feel tender. Every surgery and recovery experience is unique, and the amount of swelling you in your case may be different from others. Bruising can also be expected. Bruises may fade away or slide down from your chest to your abdomen.

2. Pain

You can expect to have sore chest muscles if the implants are placed beneath the muscle. However, if the implants are over the muscle, you can expect some pressure, but muscles shouldn’t be sore.

3. Itchy incisions

Having itchy incisions is a usual part of the healing process. Avoid scratching your incisions as this can introduce bacteria to the wound. There’s also a risk of opening the incision.

4. Numbness

It is normal to feel numbness after the procedure. The numbness should gradually go away over time, usually a few weeks or months (it varies with every individual).

5. Backache

A backache is commonly experienced after breast augmentation, especially if your implants are placed submuscularly. Because you will not use your chest muscles as much during the recovery, your back and abdominal muscles will work harder. Your backache can also be a result of an altered sleeping position, as it will be hard to lay flat on your back, on your side, and especially on your stomach.

6. Zingers

A zinger is a sharp shooting pain that you may feel in your breasts for a few weeks or even a few months. Zingers can make you feel uncomfortable, but it will be a relief to know that they actually tell that you are healing. A zinger can last for 1-2 seconds, and will just go away after.

To lessen the risks of your breast augmentation, it is best to consult with a UK trained and accredited surgeon who will walk through the entire process so you know exactly what to expect. The most reputable surgical clinics in UK offer the highest levels of surgical excellence and premium quality care, and their surgeons will help you make the informed decisions about your health.
