Question

What I Can Do to Decrease the Spasms and Contractions in Breast Muscle After Breast Implant?

Manish H. Shah, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello,

	If your breast implants were placed under the muscle, temporary muscle spasms can occur.  A muscle relaxant, like Valium, can give relief from the symptoms.  Once the muscle can tolerate the stretch caused by the implant it will stop going into spasm.  Be patient and speak to your surgeon about medication options.

	Good luck,

I always give my patients a muscle relaxant for the first week or two. Some is a good one. Fleceril is stronger and can make you very sleepy. In time the muscles will relax and it won't be a problem. You did not say how long ago your surgery was, but it may take as long as 6-8 weeks for this problem to resolve. Be patient.

I also routinely give my breast augmentation patients a muscle relaxant for the first 7-10 days post-op. I also give Celebrex for this period which I also feel decreases the pain medication requirements and the complaints referable to the muscle spasms. I give each of these pre-op as well with the pre-op antibiotic.

I always give my breast  augmentation patients a prescription for Robson. Robaxin is a muscle relaxant. This medication is very helpful in treating the muscle spasms and pain that is associated with submuscular (subpectoral ) breast enhancement surgery.
