I get a pinch sensation after bending down and coming back up. Breast goes numb a few hours after it happens. (Photo)

Question

Not painful and onleft side. 7wk po. 800cc gel. It happens literally everytime doesnt hurt but boob goes numb and after the numbing ends i feel a sharp pain in a small spot it felt it had opened at. I felt as if it tore open it didnt hurt but i swear i felt as if it opened and now i feel tht little pinching feelin. Everytime i come up from bendin or sometimes when i turn over. Could the capsule that forms over the implant have ripped or do you think its the actual implant. Any help is appreciated

I appreciate your concern. Your breast and connective tissue is not used to the weight of these very large breast implants. I suggest a more supportive bra to handle the weight and pressure can reduce your symptoms. Have an exam by your surgeon for a complete assessment.Good luck. Dr. Aldo

At 7 weeks you are about 30 percent healed, shaped, softened, dropped and fluffed. It is not uncommon for one side to have more discomfort than the other. When concerned, always a good idea to be checked by your surgeon.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author
