Hello, Ripping a suture inside the repair from too much activity is difficult, but not impossible. I would have your surgeon take a look. You more likely than not have not caused a big problem but check just to be sure.
Torn suture from lifting after breast augmentation?
I had breast implants last week and I did something stupid today. I guess since I'm just about pain free, I forgot that I'm not supposed to lift anything and I lifted something heavy over my head. Now my muscle is very sore and I have a piercing pain. I'm wondering if I just hurt the muscle or if I could of torn an internal suture? I feel dumb and I'm really scared I tore it and I'm going to bottom out. Please help! Thanks!

A: Not to worry
There are no internal sutures after breast augmentation so you more than likely aggravated your chest muscle producing pain. This should resolve without any sequellae and will not cause bottoming out.
A: Pain after breast augmentation
You obviously had a good doctor and you sound like a tough lady. It is great that you have so little pain! It sounds like you could have torn your pectoralis muscle, but to be sure, go back and check with your doctor. If that is the case, it will usually heal spontaneously.
