Breast pain left side 1 month after surgery for silicone rupture & capsular contracture. Hurts more with certain movement(Photo)

Janet828282Jul 25, 2015
1 month out from removal of ruptured 10 year old implants. I have new pain that starts at the center of my breast where my breast meets my armpit and shoots to incision line or up above nipple. The pain is deep and achy. surgeons office said it is probably a tight stitch anchoring breast so that it does not spread out to the armpit. I cannot even text with the left hand or I experience this pain. Is this normal. And last but not least have they dropped too far from compressing them downward?
