2 weeks post op and still pretty sore with muscle spasms frequently, is that normal?

This is a very common concern after breast augmentation. I would highly suggest a muscle relaxant such as cyclobenzaprine which can help reduce spasm and chest wall discomfort after surgery.

Best of luck!

It is fairly common to experience soreness and muscle spasms two weeks post-operation, especially when implants are placed under the muscle, as in your case with 330cc textured gummy teardrop implants. Tight chest muscles, as noted by your surgeon, can contribute to this discomfort due to the added strain from accommodating the implants. Typically, this should gradually improve as your body adjusts to the implants. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is important to consult with your surgeon to ensure there are no complications affecting your recovery.

Muscle Spasm after Breast Augmentation with sub-muscular placement is extremely common, and should be expected for the first month or so. Consult with your surgeon if your spasms persist. 
Congratulations and good luck to you.

Having muscle spasms at this time is not uncommon after breast surgery.  If you continue to have discomfort or further questions, make sure you follow up with your plastic surgeon.  Best of luck!

Hello, thank you for your question

It´s very common to experience muscle spasms after breast augmentation in submuscular plane specially during the first weeks, you shouldn´t worry, be sure you are taking your medication correctly, don´t do intense activity specially don´t lift heavy objects or raise your arms above your shoulders.
I hope you feel better really soon
Wish you the best 

Bretney15, Thank you for your question. It is normal to have pain/spasms especially if your implants are underneath the pectoralis muscle. For this reason we prescribe muscle relaxers- but it is always best to follow up with your plastic surgeon and get an assessment. 

It may be normal if you have particularly strong/tight muscles. Sometimes a muscle relaxant can help. You should see your plastic surgeon in person. The foregoing information provided is not intended nor implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, it is provided for educational purposes only.

Hello and thank you for your recent question!  With only being 2 weeks post op it is normal to still be sore and have muscle spasms sometimes.  You wont feel like your own breast tissue until about 2 and half to 3 months.  Good luck and congrats on your new surgery! 

Hello, and thank you for your question. Muscle spasms post operatively are very normal. We give our patients Valium or Diazepam in anticipation of the event that they experience this. You can also try to massage the implant to get the muscle to relax a little bit. Follow up with your plastic surgeon to see what he suggests.

Dear bretney15,
it is normal to have muscle spasm 2 weeks after surgery. I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.
