How painful is a Mastopexy?
A Mastopexy is usually not as painful as a sub-pectoral breast augmentation, because it does not involves manipulating or stretching the muscles. It is also not as painful as a tummy tuck, or hysterectomy, but is more painful than having undergone a tubal ligation, appendectomy, or cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal). Most women say that the worst of the discomfort is during the first two to three days. The prescribed pain medication makes this discomfort tolerable during this period.
