I had a breast uplift (lollipop lift) and implants under the muscle 14 weeks ago and I am experiencing a dull ache in my right breast, particularly when I lie down flat. I cannot lie completely flat on my back as it feels uncomfortable and a little painfil. Is this normal and if not what can it be? Should I be concerned? I had surgery abroad do i cannot get a check up to put my mind at ease. There is also a slight bump under my breast crease on borh breasts when I loft my arms up, could this be the cause?

It is way too early in your recovery to make a final judgement about the result, I would definitely give it a full year for everything to heal and settle. Keep in close touch with your board certified plastic surgeon about your concerns.
Hope this is helpful, best of luck!
Hello,Both of your implants are sitting slightly low and lateral (away from your sternum), with one more than the other. Go discuss this issue with your plastic surgeon. You are not botched, but you can improve your result, if you wanted. Best of luck!
