Are muscle contractions normal after breast augmentation?

October 13, 2016
Asked By:jet422 in Hamburg, NY

I had breast augmentation surgery 2 weeks ago. I have been getting woken up by chest muscle contractions. In my sleep I stretch and my muscles contract or "clench down". Is this normal? could this cause any problems with the look of my implants? It's involuntary.
