Normal to Have Muscle Tremors 2 Years After Breast Augmentation?

Question

I had a breast augmentation done through my armpit using mentor smooth saline 375 cc placed under my muscle about 2 years ago. When I try to use my chest muscles for normal everyday things or even just raising my arms the muscles will shake/jump uncontrollably and tremor. If I flex the muscle as hard as I can then the shaking stops, but causes cramping so I don't like to do it. Is this a normal outcome and risk from a breast augmentation?

Otto Joseph Placik, MD · Answer

Muscle cramping can occur with any activity and may not necessarily be related to the presence of the implant but this does sound unusual and I would discuss it with your surgeon. IF sufficently bothersome, it could be lessened with Botox

Paul C. Zwiebel, MD (retired) · Answer

Persistent tremors 2 years after breast aumentation are very unusual. In my own practice, I have had patients for whom tremors appeared only very transiently, in the first weeks or months after augmentation, but then disappeared.

	Do consult with your sugeon.

	Since I don't have much experience with the problem you describe, I might also consider stretching exercises, massage, ultrasound, even accupncture.
