Is it normal to have a sore chest muscle even years after surgery?

Ep138001May 6, 2022
Is it normal to experience pain around the chest muscle / sore chest muscles even years after surgery? The breasts aren't hard or sensitive to touch but the muscle itself is hurting.. breast augmentation in September 2020, dual plane below the muscle. This occurs especially after I've been sleeping on my side.
