Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

I'm not sure what happened to you but I doubt there was anything done to the breast implants. Report your plastic surgeon for a physical examination However.

Michael B. Tantillo, MD · Answer

Most likely a muscle strain; you did not do anything to harm your implants.  Treat as any other muscle pain and if it does not resolve in a reasonable period of time, see your doctor.

Robert H. Hunsaker, MD · Answer

Probably either a small muscle strain/tear or perhaps even a small scar band that tore. Either way, the implants themselves and the result should not be affected. With time and maybe some antiinflammatory you should be fine.

Robert S. Feins, MD, FACS (retired) · Answer

I agree that you probably did no harm to yourself, the implants, or to the eventual outcome.  Exercising after Breast Aug is generally a good thing.  You need to listen to your body to prevent overdoing itIn this case your body is telling you to take it slowGood luck

Brooke R. Seckel, MD, FACS (retired) · Answer

You may have a muscle strain however the history of a pop suggest the possibility of a tear in the breast implant capsule.I suggest you revisit your plastic surgeon as soon as you can make an appointment.
