Lately i feel a discomfort on the lower side of my breast behind the implant.

Hi suarez51083,

I am sorry to hear about what you are experiencing. It is difficult to ascertain what this is and its causes. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon to have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello and thank you for your question!  Often times, patience is vital component in recovering. It was not indicated how far out you are from surgery.  Final results may take up to 6 months after surgery. Additionally, your pre-operative photographs would also be a nice indicator of results. Talk to your surgeon with your concerns and keep him/her posted.  I hope this helps and best of luck to you!

suarez51083.  I appreciate your concern, however your best and safest option is to follow up with your plastic surgeon. I always recommend wearing a sports bra when running, for all my patients, with or without breast implants. Please get checked out by your plastic surgeon.

How long has it been since your augmentation?  If greater than a few month ago, your discomfort is probably related to implant shifting with strenuous exercise.  This can be treated with wearing a supportive bra/bathing suit.  However if doing so does not improve or eliminate your discomfort, or if you would like more assurance, see your plastic surgeon for evaluation.Hope this helps and best wishes for elimination of your discomfort

The only way to determine what may be causing the sensation you are experiencing is to have an exam with your surgeon. After examining you they may elect to get an imaging study such as an MRI to further investigate your complaint. Good luck!

Most likely your discomfort is caused by the fact that you are not wearing a supportive sports bra when exercising. It is important that the implants be held in place with a sports bra when running and doing other exercises. However if this represents a very significant change I would recommend that you see your plastic surgeon for an examination in person

It is best to see your surgeon.  We can only guess the problem without an exam.  Best wishes!
