Pain 3 years after under the muscle gummy breast implants - what could be the issue?

Dear alexia8,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

From your description you may have injured the muscle. Typically resting the area will provide relief. However since you mentioned that the pain has persisted for two weeks it is best to be evaluated by your surgeon.

based on the symptoms you described, it's possible that the intense pressure applied to your chest during sexual activity may have caused some trauma or injury to the underlying structures in your breast. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional, such as a doctor or gynecologist, to get a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

Some potential causes of the symptoms you're experiencing could include muscle or tissue strain, nerve irritation, rib or chest wall injury …
To determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment, I recommend scheduling an appointment with a healthcare professional. They can perform a physical examination, evaluate your symptoms, and provide you with an accurate diagnosis. They may also consider additional tests, such as imaging studies, if necessary.

In the meantime, you can try applying a cold compress to the affected area to help reduce inflammation and alleviate some discomfort. Avoid putting unnecessary pressure on the breast, and if the pain worsens or persists, it's important to seek medical attention promptly.

If you're experiencing pain three years after getting under-the-muscle gummy breast implants, it's important to consult a medical professional to get a proper diagnosis and appropriate advice. There could be various reasons for the pain:1.) Capsular Contracture: This occurs when the scar tissue around the implant tightens, causing discomfort, distortion, and pain. It can happen at any time after surgery and might require surgical correction.2.) Infection: Infections can occur even years after surgery. Symptoms might include pain, redness, swelling, fever, and general malaise.3.) Implant Rupture or Leakage: If a gummy implant ruptures or leaks, it might cause pain or changes in the breast shape. Sometimes, the silicone material can migrate to nearby tissues and cause discomfort.4.) Muscle Strain: If the implant was placed under the muscle, muscle strain or spasm might occur over time, leading to pain.5.) Nerve Irritation: Surgical procedures can sometimes cause nerve damage or irritation, which might result in pain that appears or intensifies over time.6.) Changes in Hormones or Weight: Hormonal changes or changes in body weight might influence how your implants feel or cause discomfort.7.) Scar Tissue Issues: Scarring might develop around the implant, leading to discomfort or pain.8.) Unrelated Medical Conditions: Sometimes, pain might be related to other medical conditions that are not directly connected to the implants.9.) Allergic Reaction: While rare, some people might develop allergic reactions to implant materials.10.) Implant Shifting: Implants can shift slightly over time, which could lead to changes in sensation or discomfort.11.) Chest Wall or Musculoskeletal Issues: Pain might be caused by issues unrelated to the implants, such as musculoskeletal problems or issues with the chest wall.Remember, it's crucial to consult a medical professional for an accurate assessment. They can conduct a physical examination, potentially order imaging tests like MRI or ultrasound, and provide personalized advice based on your medical history and current condition. If the pain is severe or accompanied by other concerning symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.

You probably tore part of your capsule when pressure was applied. It should slowly heal. I would suggest let your surgeon check you. For the next few weeks, do wear a bra while having sex.
