Normal to Have Muscle Tremors 2 Years After Breast Augmentation?

J
justfineJul 26, 2010

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?

This could be capsular contracture, which involves scarring and tightening around the implant, causing the breast to feel firm and sometimes look abnormally round or elevated. Please see your surgeon for a checkup. Best of luck.
