Yes, a Penuma implant can cause some pain, but it's generally described as mild to moderate soreness after the procedure.
While the level of pain experienced can vary from person to person, here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Immediately After Surgery: Expect some discomfort and soreness in the initial days following the Penuma implant procedure. This is a sensitive area, so some degree of pain is normal.
-
During Recovery: The soreness typically subsides within one to two weeks. Pain medication can help manage any discomfort during this period.
-
Long-Term: Once fully healed, the Penuma implant should not cause persistent pain. If you experience ongoing pain, consult your surgeon.
Key Considerations:
- Pain Tolerance: Individual pain tolerance varies. What one person considers mild, another may perceive as moderate.
- Following Post-Op Instructions: Strictly adhere to your surgeon's post-operative instructions. This includes taking prescribed medications, wearing supportive garments, and avoiding strenuous activities to minimize pain and complications.
- Communication with Your Surgeon: If you experience excessive or prolonged pain, promptly communicate with your surgeon. They can assess the situation and provide appropriate guidance.
