Difficulty breathing almost two months after breast augmentation?

July 16, 2018
Asked By:azwc98 in Santa Barbara, CA

I had tuberous breasts before my surgery and my surgeon warned me that I might have a slightly prolonged healing period due to this. I also have a very small ripcage and I had 375 and 395 implants placed under the muscle. I had my surgery at the end of May. I had a painful nerve a few weeks after my surgery but had no other complications other than that. For the last 4 days, I’ve been having random pains in my left breast that make it hard to take a deep breath. What could this be? Thank you!
