Question 1

is a burning/painful sensation in my sternum normal one week post breast augmentation and should they feel like they are stretched as tight as the canvas on a drum???

Accepted Answer

: Yes the burning pain is most likely from slight damage to nerves and their regeneration. Normal to feel stretched as the implants are probably under the fascia, a tight connective tissue covering the muscle. The burning sensation and stretched feeling will resolve. Important to continue the exercises you were given

Question 2

i underwent breast augmentation almost three years ago, a week ago when i was moving boxes one of my implants flipped. it does not hurt in anyway, but the difference is quite noticeable. i have submuscular implants, can i flip it back myself?

Accepted Answer

: No do not attempt to flip their own breast implants back into place. Breast implants are typically placed in a specific position during surgery and any movement or displacement can cause discomfort, distortion, or even damage to the implant itself. In this case, it is important to seek medical attention from a board-certified plastic surgeon who can properly assess the situation and recommend TX
