I've had my implants for 10 years. While doing heavy lifting, I think I pulled a muscle under my arm. I felt sore in my right breast and armpit/underarm. Two days later my right breast swelled up about twice the size. It’s been swollen now for about a week. What is going on?

Answer: Seroma after breast augmentation What you describe is a very late setons after a breast augmentation and it warrants attention and a visit with a board certified plastic surgeon. The fluid needs to be tested and you will need some breast imaging an ultrasound for sure and likely an MRI. From there you can make the next step but likely Replacing your implants and removing your capsules is the most prudent step.

Answer: Really need to see a plastic surgeon now Many things can happen from what you are describing, I suggest you go back to your original plastic surgeon or any one locally first to get a physical exam and likely an imaging study to figure out what happened inside.

Answer: Sudden breast swelling 10 years are augmentation. The best way to evaluate this situation is to see your plastic surgeon or another board certified plastic surgeon in your area. That's a lot of swelling for a workout, and it is lasting too long. There are many diagnoses which cause increased breast swelling. It may be related to working out, muscle pull, capsule tear or it may not, infection, ALCL. If free fluid is around the implant is should be aspirated and sent for analysis. Start by getting evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon,
