Breast implant, breast augmentation

It is difficult to tell you what is going on without an examination. Any new pain or change in texture and feel of the implant should be evaluated. It could be capsular contracture or any number of other possibilities.

Have Pain/sensativity in Left Breast Near Arm Pit & Side

Please see both your plastic surgeon and a breast surgeon ASAP. Evaluation of the pain and redness should be done via physical exam and or the use of possible adjunct tests such as ultrasounds and even a possible mammogram. Good luck hope all is well.

Pain in breasts

Pain and swelling in a breast is always worrisome. I would go to see your surgeon to make sure everything is OK.
