3 weeks post op, I got hit in the boob and in pain. What can it be?

Question

Im 3 weeks post op tomorrow. 4days ago my dog landed on one of my boobs while asleep.She landed in a way so she pushed the boob upwards.Since then that boob have been hurting almost everytime i move around(especially bending over,reaching for stuff etc.)It almost feels like the silicone is really loose and moving around inside my breast when I'm bending over.And sometimes i get shooting pain in that boob.Its not bruised, swollen,red or tender at all tho.Does anyone know what could have happened?

Thank you for your question. At 3 weeks post op it is likely your breast would be sore after that experience. If you are concerned visit your surgeon for a follow up to be assessed. Best,

If the implants appear symmetric, and not bruised, it is not likely that any has happened that will compromise your result.  However, it seems a bit inappropriate to offer reassurance without photos or an exam, and therefor I would recommend a call to your surgeon.  Based on some give and take over the phone, he or she can decide if you should be seen in the office. Best wishes.

This doesn't sound like you've done something that will impact your final result. I would schedule a follow up with your surgeon just ot make sure. Good luck, Dean Vistnes.

Angelica89,Pain is probably not a sign of a problem if it is not linked to new swelling or bruising in an instance like this. Address this question to your surgeon, as they may wish to see you, but if you have not seen the other problem signs noted above, it is probably not urgent.  Your surgeon may tell you to treat this symptomatically by avoiding strain on the injured side, and using over the counter pain meds.  Let the surgeon know if you are concerned, or if persists.  I hope that this helps.     Best wishes,     Tom DeWire, MD, FACSRichmond, VA
