Liposuction on the breast

My surgeon performed liposuction on my breasts which were heavy. Now I have intense pain at the site. Is this normal?

First, I am not sure why the surgeon elected to do liposuction to remove fat from the breasts. This is not the right procedure to reduce breast size. It can cause asymmetry between the breast and often excess dimpling of skin will occur. What surgeons never tell you is that surgery on the breast is painful, especially when done with a scope or a suction cannula. I think you will need prescription strength pain pills for sometime. The abnormal sensations will stay for a long time. Change your surgeon-please.
