Had 330cc textured gummy tear drop placed under muscle. Surgeon said I had really tight chest muscles.
Answer: It certainly can be 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.

Answer: Muscle Spasms Post-Op 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.
