Breast implant pain 6 months after procedure, is it normal or should I have follow-up sooner?

Asked By:Forceful54223 in Bells, North Carolina

I had breast augmentation 6 months ago. Recently, in the mornings when I wake up one breast is sore. It feels like muscle pain. This started randomly a few weeks ago, and I had not done any heavy lifting. It normally subsides in a few hours after getting up. Is this normal, or something that I should be worried about? I have a follow up appt in 2 months, should I go in sooner?
