What are symptoms of a pulled chest muscle with implants?

Deni84Aug 11, 2018
I have had persistent soreness in one breast. My PS says i may have torn my pocket. Nothing looks abnormal... if anything there may be slight swelling. Very minor if so. Its hard to sleep on that side. Its feels tight/tingly and sometimes it spasms. My implants are 3 yrs old and under the muscle. Its been 4 wks since i first noticed the pain. Taking ibuprofen and using ice. Little to no improvement.

I would more term your areolae as herniated.  This can be improved a few different ways but they would all involve scars around the areolae.  The lollipop lift is a good option combined with the implants because it prevents your areolae from getting stretched out again.
