Did I tear my breast pocket 5 days post breast augmentation?

April 28, 2019
Asked By:moderngirl in Ontario, ON

I am 6 days post op from a sub muscular BA and my left breast has been virtually painless and healing nicely. Last night, without thinking I used my left arm to move my body and immediately felt a sharp ripping sensation in my left breast and it has been sore since with a sort of dull pain. I’m freaking out that I might have damaged the pocket or done something terrible that will affect the results of my surgery. Please help
