Sharp "Pop" Sensation and Burning Pain with New Breast Implants

I had 350cc cohesive silicone implants put in 3 days ago via the peri-aereola approach. Just now I lifted my laptop onto my lap and felt a sharp "pop" feeling inside my right breast (behind the nipple area) followed by a burning sensation. Now, 10 minutes later, it feels fine. What happened? How can I know if I popped a stitch?

Sharp "Pop" Sensation and Burning Pain with New Breast Implants

Sharp "Pop" Sensation and Burning Pain with New Breast Implants: There are a variety of potential explanations including a ruptured suture or valve strap or muscle slip. if you are doing well, iwould continue to observe as well as informing your surgeon. Most likely, it will have no effect.

Popping sound?

If you recently had a breast augmentation and literally heard a pop, you may have torn a suture.  It may be nothing but you may want to talk to your doctor.

Pop in breast after BAM

Sounds like a suture did pop, but no way to be sure without exam.  Also, even if it did pop, it may be just fine.  The burning may be a nerve that was in the area. Tell your doctor.
