400cc, HP, dual plane, textured, 6 months post-op & muscle squeezing sensation after yoga, is this normal?

What you describe sounds normal. It took me several months to get used to doing any chest exercises at all. I don’t think I tried anything like yoga or pushups for at least a year because it felt so weird. But once I got through the adjustment phase, I can do any activity I want.

With textured implants, they “stick” to your tissue a bit more and may make the sensation of muscle contraction more noticeable. I did have one patient who never felt comfortable doing chest workouts, but that is quite rare since most of my patients are able to get back to full activity, including yoga, tennis, and golf.

As long as you don’t see any change in shape or position and don’t have chronic discomfort, it’s not concerning for capsular contracture.

Since you are just starting to exercise, you may have some soreness. However, I suggest being seen by your surgeon just to check and make sure there is no capsule contracture.

The sensations that you describe sound normal for someone returning to exercise after breast augmentation. Be sure to listen to your body and progress slowly to your previous routines. Rest the area if it seems you have overdone it. If you have persistent concerns, check with your surgeon.
