I had a breast augmentation done through my armpit using mentor smooth saline 375 cc placed under my muscle about 2 years ago. When I try to use my chest muscles for normal everyday things or even just raising my arms the muscles will shake/jump uncontrollably and tremor. If I flex the muscle as hard as I can then the shaking stops, but causes cramping so I don't like to do it. Is this a normal outcome and risk from a breast augmentation?

Answer: Muscle tremors occuring after breast implant augmentation
Thank you for asking about your breast augmentation recovery.One implant always moves into position first -It can take three months for the implants to settle.A capsular contracture takes time to develop - it cannot occur as early a month.Going bra-less will help gravity pull down the implant - ...
This could be capsular contracture, which involves scarring and tightening around the implant, causing the breast to feel firm and sometimes look abnormally round or elevated. Please see your surgeon for a checkup. Best of luck.
These forums are intended for opinions or advice but not urgent medical information. I would call or page your surgeon ASAP emergently for concerns regarding shortness of breath or going to the Emergency Room. I would first remove the bra but not without the advice of your surgeon.
