Is there much pain associated with breast augmentation? How bad will it hurt?
Although pain thresholds vary, breast augmentation pain is dependent upon the implant placement, incision placement and if you choose to take your meds on time, every time. You can also cause yourself more pain by not abiding by your surgeon's instructions and over-exerting yourself.
Many patients report that their discomfort is described as pressure or muscle soreness. I have heard so many times "It feels like an elephant is on my chest!". It is also described as having done too many butterfly curls (with under placement). If you should experience any discomfort that seems out of the ordinary, contact your surgeon.
