Pain after breast reduction and liposuction under arms
Asked 2018-12-21
Hello, 6 days ago I had breast reduction and liposuction under my arm. Is it normal that after 6 days it is very painful and I have a burning sensation all around my breast and under my arms? How long should the pain last? And is there anything I can do ?
I’m seing my doctor in 5 days for my first post op visit.
Thanks.

What you are describing most likely will require an evaluation by a practitioner. Start by calling your surgeon. They can answer your concerns & direct you for your post operative treatment. Best,

I’m sorry you are in pain. This is impossible to diagnose by this means but it can be a sign of a real problem. You should immediately contact your surgeon.
