I had breast implants 17 years ago. At the time, I had shooting pain in my left breast. Not constant and periodically which I believe involved the implant shifting to my left side (think laying on back sleeping). Implants have been fine since otherwise. A week ago, I was leaning forward and pushed myself up with my left arm. It immediately caused the nerve pain and it has been periodically since if I move wrong, raise arm shoulder level. I'm waking up at night from pain. How can I resolve this?

Answer: Sudden onset of pain long after breast implants placed
When was your surgery performed? As I see in the photo, you have an asymmetry between your breasts and nipples. If you want lifted and rounded breasts. It is better to have a second breast lift, correct the asymmetry and put in implants. Best Regards
Hello,
Subfascial placement would be the best option for you to not have deformity or muscle animation when being active. Great job for staying on top of your mammograms! Best of luck.
All the best,
Dr. Joe
