4 months after Breast Augmentation

The sharp pain that you are feeling may be a muscle spasm which is normal after a breast augmentation. To be sure that it is not something else, I would definitely follow up with your plastic surgeon.

Without pictures or seeing you in person, it is impossible to give you specific advice. I would recommend talking with your surgeon to see what is going on. Good Luck.

If there is no redness and you do not have a fever, it is unlikely that this is an infection. This is probably scar tissue that is forming around your implant. I suggest you see your surgeon to determine if this may be a capsular contracture.
