I am almost 2 weeks post op. I did not take flexeril after surgery just percocet for pain. The implants are still very high and kind of oblong. I'm scared that this is the result of not taking muscle relaxant. Im really worried.

Answer: Do I really have to take muscle relaxant after breast augmentation? Thank you for sharing your question. Muscle relaxants are useful at minimizing the cramping that can occur with the chest muscle keeping patients more comfortable during recovery. That said their use will not impact your long-term results created at the time of surgery. Your tissue swelling is currently maintaining your implants in an elevated and flattened position, but you should see steady improvement over the next 4-6 weeks as the tissues soften and relax. Hope this helps.

Answer: Muscle relaxers Thanks for your question. Muscle relaxers are not necessary after breast augmentation, but they are commonly prescribed to help with pectoralis major muscle spasm pain, which can be experienced if the implant is placed under the muscle. You definitely would not have to take them if you don't want to.
