The side of my boob feels uncomfortable after working out, could it just be a muscle spasm? (Photos)

Question

I got my boobs done 9 months ago , Under the muscle , rightboob485cc and left440cc I love them, so problems, started going working out lifting , I would deadlift about 110 at the most , I start noticing my right boob started feeling weird like when I flex my muscle, like a tightness feeling only on the side of my right boob, doesn’t really hurt, or at time my boob felt more heavy it started maybe 3 weeks ago not sure what it is, could it be that I’m not wearing a enough supportive bra? Or muscle spasm?

Thank you for sharing your excellent question and photographs.  Though nothing replaces an in-person examination, based on your increased activity level it would be very natural to have some muscle spasming take place.  Because this is a change in your recovery I would advocate seeing your surgeon for an in-person examination to ensure all is well.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question.It is best to have an in person evaluation to determine what it is that is going on. Based on the information, it could just be a muscle spasm because you are exercising and contracting that muscle. Another possibility would a capsular contracture. I would suggest having your surgeon take a look to make sure it is nothing serious.

Dear Prettifly07,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

Thanks for your inquiry, but without an exam it is difficult to advise.  I suggest you be seen by your surgeon to be examined, best of luck.

The pain you're feeling is most likely secondary to maturing scar tissue. As one increases their activity following surgery, it is not uncommon to get some areas of discomfort. That having been said, it would be a good idea for you to be evaluated for by your plastic surgeon just to be sure.
