I got breast implants in 2006. It's been 3 years and everything has been fine, up until this past week when a small area of my right breast has been slighty hurting. It feels as though it was bruised, yet there are no visual indications of a physical, darkened bruise. What could this be? Thanks.
I am a bartender. Could it be possibly because I lifted something too heavy/too quickly and torn something?

Answer: Can be a bruised nerve The nerves that supply the breast come up between the ribs along the side of the breast. It is not uncommon to turn a certain way and ding a sensory nerve. The most common symptom is a deep burn or ache type sensation. If this is the case a little gentle massage on the lateral breast can be beneficial. If your symptoms do not go away in a few days then a visit to your plastic surgeon is indicated.

Answer: Could Be A Few Things First I agree that it could be strain due to your job (which is almost a contact sport in N.Y.). However, capsular contracture usually doesn't set in for several years. Now to be honest I wouldn't worry about this too much. Just about every surgeon puts the implants under the muscle. This reduces capsular contracture to almost nothing. In fact I haven't seen it in my practice.
