Question : Hi im almost 5 weeks post op breast augmentation. My friend pulled my arms out and jerked me forward while we were play fighting. I feel a little soreness. Do you think i did damage? No blood or real pain. Am i out of the woods?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

I do understand your sorry. I have reviewed this information fully and there is no need to be scared. With minimal pain, there is little chance that you did any damage to yourself. I will suggest that you monitor only at this time and only seek further care if the pain worsens or something else comes up.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
