Hello, Thank you for your recent question !  At this point you are still early in the process and it is not uncommon for you to feel these ziggers every now and then this far out.  I recommend to just give it time and continue to massage as you are. Best of luck!

Dear sym21,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

Experiencing random "zings" of pain is not uncommon at this stage of healing.  It should continue to decrease in frequency over the coming weeks.  If not, return to your surgeon for an examination just to be sure everything is progressing as expected.

Dear Sym21,
It is not unusual to get random zings after breast augmentation. I would double check with your plastic surgeon to make sure he or she can take a look at you and make sure there is nothing else going on. Good luck!

Hello and thank you for your question .   You can still have a zap here and there , however, if at 6 months or so, you may want to check with your PS , if you are still having them.
