Is Sharp Pain Normal 11days After Getting Breast Implants Under the Muscle?

Thank you for the question. What you have described is quite common  during the first 2 months after breast augmentation surgery. It is likely due to musculoskeletal strain and/or irritation of nerves after the body altering surgery.   It tends to happen periodically and is self resolving.  It can be related to positional changes, over activity, or may occur without provocation at rest.

Occasionally anti-inflammatories may be helpful. If persistence and/or is accompanied by other findings ( such as increased swelling and or firmness of the breasts)  the patient should seek follow-up with her plastic surgeon ASAP.

I hope this helps.

You're still early enough post-op to expect these and similar symptoms as part of the normal healing process.  With the under muscle approach more of these 'twinges' are to be expected...so I wouldn't be too concerned.  However, in the unexpected chance that anything unusual is happening you should probably have your surgeon take a peek.  Good Luck!  Scott Newman, MD FACS

It is actually quite common to experience sharp pains underneath your breasts after breast augmentation.  This usually subsides after several weeks but may persist for as long as three months.  I recommend applying a heating pad to the area which may help alleviate the pain.  Sometimes massaging the painful area gently three or four times a day can also help.
