Question

I was trying not to laugh but i couldnt help it and felt a sharp pain shoot through my left breast. It hurt so bad but now im not in any pain. Nervous i may have tore something

Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

Hello,Thank you for the question and photo. If you had done damage, you would likely still be in pain. Nothing concerning appears in this photo. I recommend that you let your Plastic Surgeon know if you have ongoing concerns.All the best

Congratulations on your new breast implants! This is normal in the early postop period because your tissues are more sensitive due to recent surgery. Speak with your plastic surgeon if the pain persists.Good luck!

Christopher J. Davidson, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question and photograph.  Pain, even sharp sensations, are quite common in the post operative healing of a breast augmentation due to the stretch of tissue and disruption of nerves.  Remember to take it easy, but glad to hear you are laughing!  Best of luck.

Martin Jugenburg, MD · Answer

A sharp pain is common with some sudden jolt or movement of the breasts, especially early in the recovery period. This sounds nerve-related.It is unlikely that you tore something, because if you did, the pain would still be there. Please relay your concerns to your surgeon as their post-operative instructions take precedence. Hope this helps.

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for sharing your question and congratulations on your breast augmentation procedure.  If you have not seen any distinct change to your breast's appearance and your pain has returned to the postoperative level you had been experiencing it is unlikely that the laughing caused any issue with your augmentation results.  Always best to run these issues by your surgeon as they know the full details of your procedure.  Hope this helps.

Perfectly normal to have pain like that at this point. Your photo looks OK--I don't think you did any harm.
