I had breast implants under the muscle 1 week ago. My bicep on my right arm has ached since the day after surgery I get woke up every night in extreme pain from my arm. How long will this last and is this normal?

Answer: Pain after surgery Dear rmontgomery923,I understand your concern. It is most likely caused by positioning during surgery. 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

Answer: How long will arm pain last after breast implants? Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry to hear of your arm pain. This should spontaneously improve given enough time, typically over the first 2-3 weeks depending if the pain is the result of positioning on the operating room table or from the muscle irritation that can develop with the implants. In order to ensure everything is healing well, make sure to have close follow up with your surgeon and mention your discomfort. Best wishes.
