2 Weeks Post Op Breast Augmentation, Pain when I Breathe Deep or Cough, Should I be Concerned?

February 21, 2012
Asked By:fastkat4 in Waukegan, IL

I am 14 days post op breast aug (I am 5'4" 120lbs A cup to start, 400cc silicone implants) and just yesterday I noticed some discomfort when taking a deep breath. When I awoke this morning it was worse. The pain is behind my implant and toward my sternum from my right breast. I also feel it when I use my right arm, or put any pressure on that arm. I don't recall lifting anything too heavy or doing something to cause this pain. Should I be concerned?
