Is breast augmentation a painful procedure?
During breast augmentation, you will be anesthetized and should feel nothing. You will experience some discomfort after the procedure as your breast tissue has been expanded due to the placement of implants, but this is manageable with medication. Pain, however, is very relative and while some patients may experience pain and soreness, others may only experience mild discomfort during healing. Discomfort will vary, also, based on factors like the amount of breast tissue, the type of implant, and the size of implant, and the placement of incisions. It is important to follow Dr. Placik’s instructions during recovery to minimize discomfort and encourage rapid healing.
