Breast Implants: Info, Prices, Photos, Rewiews, Q&A

Could this severe pain be something more serious at 3 months post-op?

Definitely correct to get it checked-out

Definitely you are doing the correct thing to be seen by your doctor. The most likely issue is a muscle strain (depending on whether your implants were placed under the muscle, they may be more prone to strain). It is always worth checking to make sure that there hasn’t been a complication with the implants (unlikely) or bleeding next to the implants (haematoma, might need washed out).

If you were my patient, and very much depending on your hopes and desires, I…

The most likely answer is that there has been a build up of fluid below the nipple following your surgery. When the nipple is spared, the ducts below the nipple are divided and open freely into whatever is underneath (e.g. an implant). Many surgeons put wound glue over the top of the nipple at the end of the operation to prevent any infection from travelling from the skin into the implant. For any number of reasons there can be a build up of fluid below the nipple, and when this reaches a…
