Is it possible to have a muscle stitched too tight around my breast implant incision?

kristinarenee
I had a breast augmentation 3 weeks ago and I noticed when I bend back (causing my skin to stretch) a tendon or muscle pops up. It’s very tight and makes me wonder if something was stitched back too tightly. Can this be resolved? Will the muscle stretch out over time or will I need surgery to correct it?
