dull, sometimes sharp pain in left breast

Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER and thank you for reaching out to us with your concern about pain and tingling in your left breast.

Various cosmetic procedures like breast reduction, breast augmentation and other reconstructive surgeries can lead to mild nerve damage as part of the procedure, In most cases, it is temporary.

However, depending upon the degree of nerve damage, the symptoms may be permanent. Sometimes, the post-surgical inflammatory process can also lead to tingling sensation that may extend up to arm-pits, anterior chest wall or towards the shoulder region.

Anonymous, I am concerned that this sensation developed only recently, and that you are noticing swelling at the incision site now.

Are you due for a mammogram? When was the last time you had a breast exam by your physician?

Please contact your physician to have these symptoms evaluated.

Regards,
Maryann
