Torn Suture from Lifting After Breast Augmentation?

User Avatar
candy rae
I had breast implants last week and I did something stupid today. I guess since I'm just about pain free, I forgot that I'm not supposed to lift anything and I lifted something heavy over my head. Now my muscle is very sore and I have a piercing pain. I'm wondering if I just hurt the muscle or if I could of torn an internal suture? I feel dumb and I'm really scared I tore it and I'm going to bottom out. Please help! Thanks!
