What can be causing numbing, tingling, and mild tightness in breast 10 months post-op?

Asked By:laur_srivas in Los Angeles, California

I have 415 round silicone on both sides under the muscle. I engaged in an activity with repetitive motion that may have caused stress to or around the implant. Felt irritation immediately afterwards, but no pain or swelling. Week and a half later and I still feel numbness, mild tingling, and mild tightening. I have informed my surgeon and am looking for more information. Nerve pain? Early leak symptoms? Or early capsular contracture?
