Breast implant displacement with mild pain. Could this be caused by muscle strain?

The constant vector of force on the implant when in a sub muscular position can cause the capsule to stretch and the implant to be displaced. Usually this is a painless phenomenon but some patients have your complaints. Treatment would be to move the implant to sub glandular position

Thank you for your question.  I am sorry to hear about your current issues with your breast implants. I would make an appointment to speak with your surgeon so that they can examine you and help determine what may be happening.  Though a muscle strain is common, implants can be pushed down and away from the body with squeezing of the chest when they are placed underneath the muscle.  Though they return to their normal position after the muscle relaxes, constant, and repetitive contractions can alter the pocket the implant sits in and cause a malposition that would need to be corrected through surgery. Hope this helps

Yes, the pain could be caused by muscle strain.We see this happen more in athletes or
patients who actively use their upper body muscles in sports or activities.Your best bet is to contact your Board
Certified Plastic Surgeon to see if he/she would prescribe a muscle
relaxer.If the muscle relaxer works,
then the pain was likely caused by muscle strain.

I have seen sub muscular smooth implants displaced inferiorly and lateral by the repeated compression of the pectorals muscle.  This problem can cause discomfort and the breast to "bottom out".On the other hand if the implant is being displaced superiorly and medial it may be a sign of capsule contracture.  Either way you should be evaluated by your PS for diagnosis and treatment options.I hope this helps. 

It may be msucle strain, or it could be something else. You need to be evaluated in person to determine what might be the cause.

It is hard to tell exactly what is going on without a photo or an examination.  It could be as simple as muscle spasm or it could be due to capsular contracture or implant bottoming out.  I would recommend paying a visit to your surgeon if possible, or if not, then getting a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to evaluate the problem
