Mucus in lungs after breast augmentation?

June 17, 2017
Asked By:Kelseymarie97 in Fort Lauderdale, FL

When I breathe in deep, there is a bubbling feeling in the left side of my chest I think coming from lungs or my implant. I do have mucus that I need to get out but it just hurts so bad to cough. Is that normal after a breast augmentation? And will it hurt the implant or the incision if I cough too much or too hard?
