16 days post OP, still in quite a bit of pain in both breasts. Is this normal?

Also, I was not in pain to start with this week, and then suddenly this week they got worse and it hurts more now than it did do. In fact worse than day 1. Like a burning pain when I touch them. They look ok and the stitches are healing gradually. They don't really look swollen....hard to say.

i am just over 3 weeks post op now and i had the same as you. the actual pain seemed to increase. they still hurt now esp the crease scar which is quite long on me as i had an uplift as well. i found the initial pain for me was really down to the weight, they felt so heavy. also i think it may have something to do with the fact that afterwards things are quite numb, then when the feeling starts to come back so does the pain! i posted on here about my pain as you do worry that you are 'not normal'! but everyone is so helpful on here you will get lots of advice :thumbs:
