Almost 4 weeks post op
I had my tummy tuck and male breast reduction roughly 4 weeks ago. My tummy tuck pain is almost gone, how ever the pain from my male breast reduction is more persist. Everything is tender. And uncomfortable when it comes to wearing shirts. Anyone have this problem? Is it normal to still be tender this far out from surgery?
I had a breast lift, with no augmentation and a TT, about 7 weeks ago. I never had significant breast pain after surgery but I have had some aching and sensitivity very like menstrual breast tenderness. I know that reference isn't helpful, but I do know that some people do have particular tenderness for a while post-op. Hope it gets better soon.

I think being tender is likely completely normal, but if you're worried, you should ask your surgeon.

I only had a lift, but my breasts did not hurt at all after the first week. They were the easy part for me.
