Post op question....

[Thedon24]

Hey guys. About to be 6 months post op and absolutely thrilled with the results but one question. For some reason at times there is still some tenderness when touched. Normal?

[Dr. Elliot Jacobs]

Absolutely normal.

Tenderness, tingling, occasional "odd" sensations are all normal and will gradually diminish over time.  Sometimes everything is perfectly healed at six months -- and in others it may take a year or more.

If you are satisfied with the results, don't worry about those little annoyances -- they will become fewer and fewer over time.

Enjoy your new chest!!
