1 week post Breast Augmentation and have a 'stitch' like pain under my left implant! Should i be concerned?

Given your description and assuming this is the entire story, there should be nothing to worry about.Sharp pains and discomfort can come and go as you heal after breast augmentation surgery.Be sure to call your surgeon, just to be safe.- Dr. Bryson Richards, MD

You should address this concerns with your plastic surgeon as he or she knows exactly what was done during your breast augmentation. Best of luck.

It would be a mistake to accept reassurance from a surgeon who does not know you. A call to your surgeon is in order. With some give and take over the phone he/she may be able to advise you, or may ask you to come in to be seen. The troublesome possibilities include bleeding and infection. Typically those would have finding other than just pain. Nothing I read in the narrative leads me to suspect either, but do speak with your surgeon.Best wishes.

I'm so sorry to hear of your difficult trip for your check-up. Talk to your surgeon. He/she will know where there are sutures and if you need to be concerned.Best of luck.

xxk4yleighxx,None of this sounds serious---annoying, yes.  Such discomfort can be caused by recovering nerves which were stretched during the surgery, or occasionally by muscle spasm.  Another possibility, particularly if you can feel a cord-like structure under the skin in the area of discomfort, is the evolution of a clotted vein which will become tender and sore and then will resolve in a few weeks.  That is localized phlebitis (vein inflammation) that is sometimes improperly called Mondor's cord, and it usually occurs in a superficial vein or veins that run vertically across the inframammary fold.  This phenomenon occurs more often with crease incisions.  Bring these concerns to the attention of your surgeon so that you can be evaluated if it is deemed necessary.  I hope that this helps.    Best wishes,     Tom DeWire, MD, FACS        Richmond, VA

Hopefully your sneezing simply caused muscle spasm.  However to be certain please contact your plastic surgeon and report your pain to him/her.  If you have pressure, swelling and pain need to be seen right away.
