Does breast augmentation surgery hurt?

Breast augmentation surgery can be painful.

Although anesthesia is used, there is significant pain and discomfort in the chest at the beginning of the anesthesia, especially on the day and in the first few days after surgery. This is a normal postoperative reaction. As the wound heals and the body recovers, the pain will gradually decrease, but it may still be painful when the activity, position change or chest touch is performed, which takes some time to relieve. In addition, everyone's feelings and tolerance of pain vary. Some people may feel pain more intense, while others may be relatively tolerable.

Doctors usually formulate reasonable pain management plans according to the patient's specific conditions, including the use of painkillers, to minimize the pain level and help the patient better through the postoperative period. Patients can fully communicate with the doctor before surgery to understand the specific process and possible pain. At the same time, strictly follow the doctor's instructions after surgery to help smooth recovery and reduce pain.
