Many people are concerned about the pain involved during a breast augmentation, as it is a surgical procedure which requires general anaesthetic. Typically, the act of inserting an implant over the breast muscle isn’t painful. However, breast augmentation surgery does involve cutting into the skin, leaving scars which could be painful. You will also feel minor discomfort and swelling following the boob job, but we will provide you with adequate pain relief medication to reduce your pain and discomfort. Patients often feel some pressure on the chest once they have had their breast enlargement, and they will also feel some discomfort around the outside of the implant. However, if you follow your surgeon’s advice after the boob job, you should be able to keep your pain and discomfort to a manageable level. If you have any concerns about pain and discomfort following breast enhancement, please talk to your surgeon during your consultation at our clinic in Manchester.
