I recently underwent surgery for an anchor lift and augmentation - five days ago. I'm worried that I've overexerted myself a bit. I've bent over several times, pulled on a t-shirt over my head, and worse, I accidentally made a mindless jumping motion today and felt sudden tightness in my left breast. I fully intend to take it easy from here on out, but is it possible that one can cause irreversible damage with infrequent, but forceful, movements in the beginning of the healing process?
