My right breast is sore with back muscle spasm after 4 weeks post op. Is this normal?

Question

I am 4 weeks post op. 500cc silicone implants under muscle. My right breast is sore and there has been alot of air bubbles when I move. The incision looks fine not red/ no rash. I have had sharp pains as well. The right implant looks like its dropping more towards the right side and not straight down like my left is dropping. I did wake up half on my tummy this morning... Also having back muscle spasm right side. Not sure if any of this is normal after I been fine 2 weeks ago?

It is difficult to determine whether your implant is in the correct position without a photo. The best way to determine if you are healing as expected is to follow up with your plastic surgeon for an in-person examination. At that time, your surgeon will be able to ensure that your implant is positioned correctly and that there are no signs of poor wound healing or capsular contracture.
In terms of the muscle spasms, it is not uncommon to experience this discomfort for several weeks after surgery. These spasms should decrease in frequency with time.
