How long does it take for the pec muscle to heal after Breast Augmentation?

January 13, 2015
Asked By:Cherokees1 in Augusta, GA

I am 8 weeks post op and am having pain in my left pec muscle during massage. There is no pain when I massage the plant upwards. The pain occurrs when I release the implant and it moves back down beneath the pec muscle. The pain fairly sharp and leaves the muscle sore. Is this normal and should resolve with a little more time?
