I Get Bad Sharp Pain Inside Left Breast Around Implant. Feels Like Trapped Air?

It is highly unlikely that you have any air around implant. However, it does sound as if you are experiencing some thinning of the tissue around the implant. You should seek evaluation by a plastic surgeon.

You should consider other more serious causes of chest pain. If you are in good health and have no other causes of pain like heart related pain, reflux, costochondritis, or peptic ulcer disease, you may have pain related to irritation of your nerves. Neuropathic pain or nerve related pain maybe caused by irritation or scar tissue or maybe a pressure related phenomenon. Rest assure, there are several treatments for pain due to breast implants. If you do have pain, begin massage to the area of pain to help desensitize the area. If at least 6 months and preferably 12 months have passed after your breast implant surgery, some modalities that may help resolve your pain are:

1. Local Steroid injection to area of pinpoint pain

2. Flector transdermal NSAID patch

3. Intercostal nerve block

You should consult with your plastic surgeon to determine what is most appropriate for you and your particular signs and symptoms. Good Luck, Ankit Desai, MD - Jacksonville Plastic Surgeon

The symptoms you describe are very strange.  I would suggest going to your surgeon to be evaluated to make sure everything is okay.
