We studied the prevalence of chronic pain and long term sensory changes after cosmetic augmentation marnmoplasty and the effects of a single i.v. preoperative dose of methylprednisolone 125 mg (n = 74), parecoxib 40 mg (n = 71), or placebo (n = 74). A questionnaire was mailed 6 weeks and I year after surgery. Response rate after I year was 80%. At I year non-evoked pain was present in 13%, and evoked pain was present in 20% with no statistically significant differences between the groups. Methylprednisclone was associated with reduced odds for hyperesthesia at 1 year (OR 0.3, 95% CI 0.1-0.6), and significantly reduced the prevalence of hyperesthesia (30%) compared with placebo (56%, P < 0.01) and parecoxib (51%, P < 0.04). Factors associated with increased odds for pain at 1 year were intensity of pain during the first 6 days after surgery (OR 1.3, 95% CI 1.1-1.6), pain at 6 weeks (OR 18.4, 95% CI 6.9-49.3), hyperesthesia at 6 weeks (OR 2.3, 95% Cl 1.1-5.1) and present hyperesthesia (OR 3.1, 95% CI 1.4-6.7). We conclude that persistent pain and sensory changes are common after augmentation mammoplasty, and that patients having pain at 6 weeks most likely will have pain also at 1 year. Acute postoperative pain, hyperesthesia at 6 weeks, and the presence of hyperesthesia increased the odds for pain at 1 year. Preoperative methylprednisolone resulted in significantly less hyperesthesia compared with both parecoxib and placebo, but did not significantly reduce the prevalence of persistent spontaneous or evoked pain.
