My breast implant is hurting after sleeping on my side, should I contact my surgeon?

Niecy90Apr 12, 2018
I’m 8 weeks post op from having silicone mentor hp implants. My breast still are very firm and I’ve been sleeping on my back ever since the surgery. I decided to sleep on my left side, an hour after I fell asleep I woke up in agonizing pain. My left breast hurt so bad like someone stabbed chest muscle. The following day my left breast has been aching. I hope I didn’t interfere with anything. Any thoughts if I should see my surgeon about this?

Hello and thank you for your question. Honestly, a formal in-person evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are several reasons for this: 1) Bra sizes vary based on the clothing store (for example, Victoria's Secret tends to upsize everyone by a whole cup size) 2) Most...
