I'm 2 weeks post op and wondering if the "fluttering" feelings are normal?

It's a good question and I have had patients mention feeling some fluttering early after rest augmentation surgery. This can be from subtle contractions of the muscle or sometimes patients feel the implant's motion as it glides over the top of the ribs. Both of these can occur when the implant is placed under the muscle. This always gets better, but make sure to address this issue with your plastic surgeon. Congratulations on your recent surgery.

Thank you for your question.  If her implants were placed beneath the chest muscle subtle motion or contraction of the muscle fasciculations can occur.Be sure to bring it up to your surgeon at your next visit if it is still happening.

Hello. Thank you for your inquiry and congratulations on your surgery!
It is important to have an in-person medical assessment regarding this issue as it is difficult to determine virtually. Continue to update your doctor in the matter and follow their post-op protocol.
It is important to get cleared by your doctor before engaging in specific physical activity before the 3 month healing period has ended as the healing stage is crucial for healthy results.
It generally takes around 6 months to a year to see your final results. Your tissues will take time to relax and allow your implants to "Drop and Fluff" settling into place.
Our tips for recovery following breast augmentation are to wear a supportive sports bra for 3 months post-operative and refrain from lifting anything heavier than 10 lbs for 3 weeks as we don't want any strain at your incision sites. Make sure to keep the area of your stitches clean by cleansing with hydrogen peroxide daily. Showering is encouraged! But, no sitting in water for 2 weeks following surgery (no baths, hot tubs, pools etc.).
