Had BA done last Thursday and the past three days I've had a stabbing pain under my ribs on the left side that radiates up to my collar bone. My PS advised my to get checked out at th ER for blood clots and lungs. Everything was fine! It feels almost like a cramp every time I take a deep breath and is better during the day and worse in the morning. Is this strange!?! No idea what it is! But it hurts!!

Answer: Breast augmentation post op, some advices: Thanks for the question. At this point of your post op is normal to have swelling and pain.In my practice, after performing a Breast Augmentation I recommend to my patients to limit the movement of the arms for two weeks. After that, you can move your arms taking care and always with common sense. In this regard, it's not advisable to carry heavy weights to prevent the implant out of position, and allow the formation of the physiological capsule around the implant, also to avoid pain and breast swelling.Respectfully, Dr, Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Answer: Pain under ribs after breast augmentation I appreciate your question.Sounds like you might be experiencing some muscle spasms. Please do follow up with your Surgeon so he/she can examine you and recommend appropriate treatment plan. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery. best of luck! Dr Schwartz
