How long does it take for the muscle to stretch and accommodate the implant? What can I do to help stretch out the muscle?

Asked By:boobs900 in Atlanta, GA

BL/BA 17 days ago. 435cc silicone under the muscle. Right side stretched just fine, but my left is really tight. Feels like a ball under my underarm sometimes. It also seems to rub the inside of my upperarm, because it is very sore and sensitive in this area. Doc says he doesn't think it is bad positioning of implant because everything looks even at the bottom of the breasts. i just feel very limited with what I can do with my left arm :(
