The stretch was in kneeling with arms out on floor and bringing chest toward floor. I’ve done this before but went a little farther this time. No pain at the time but it developed a few sec after I stopped. Pain was located in center of right breast (area of scar). My surgeon retired and I can’t get in to see another one for 4 months. Do I need to seek more urgent care?

Answer: Burning pain 6 years after breast reconstruction. Thank you very much for your question. Without getting proper imaging, it is hard to determine if you do have a rupture in your implants. The first step is to get radiographic imaging in order to determine if there is a rupture of the implant. Plastic surgeons can order these tests, but so can your gynecologist, primary care physician or breast surgeon. I would see if you can get into see one of these other doctors in order to get everything started.

Answer: Breast reconstruction You don't need to see the surgeon to determine if there is a rupture. Your primary can get the ball rolling with a mammogram and ultrasound. If that doesn't show the rupture then they can pursue an MRI so that this is done by the time you get to see the surgeon.
