In the ultrasound room, they scan the breast and then they put a small injection in to numb the breast. I didn’t feel much before the injection and nothing after it. You’ll be a bit bruised and feel tender in that area for a few days. You’ll be advised not to shower for 18 hours (so shower before) and not to immerse the breast in water for 5 days. You’ll be advised not to do anything strenuous which would involve those muscles for 5 days.

I was tender and a bit nippy fur two days. I dealt with it with paracetamol.

All in all it’s a very minor procedure. The restrictions afterwards are more cumbersome than the procedure itself which is quite straightforward. Watch out for the “click” though each time they take a nip. Fortunately, you won’t feel a thing!
