Bruising Feeling After Breast Implants

Question for Denver Plastic Surgeon Dr. John Squires about Breast Augmentation:

I got breast implants in 2006. It’s been 3 years and everything has been fine, up until this past week when a small area of my right breast has been slighty hurting. It feels as though it was bruised, yet there are no visual indications of a physical, darkened bruise. What could this be? Thanks.

I am a bartender. Could it be possibly because I lifted something too heavy/too quickly and torn something?

Answer from Dr. John Squires:

At three years after surgery, I think the most likely thing you are experiencing is a pull of the muscle or perhaps a small tear in the scar tissue capsule around the implant.

The most prudent course would be to have your plastic surgeon examine you to make sure nothing else is going on.
