muscle squeeze

by sarahdawn31 24th November 2010, 10:20 am

Hi Ladies,

I am now 7 weeks post op and feel great, but have noticed when I do some things I feel my muscle kind of squeeze the implant... now I know that makes sense since I have parital unders, and it doesn't hurt or cause any discomfort... I am just wondering if that feeling ever goes away or becomes less noticable?

Its a strange feeling and I find when I am doing something that causes the sqeezing feeling I stop what I am doing because it either startles me or I worry I may hurt myself.

please note... I do realize I spelled "SQUEEZE" wrong Hysterical

its been a long day with the kids, spent way too long getting them to bed and I am not thinking 100% clear at the moment. :teehee:

It becomes less noticeable although when i sneeze mine still feel a bit weird, just takes time to get used to such a new feeling x

Have edited your title for you hun!

I think once your pec muscles start to relax the feeling will ease off. I have a placement change 10 weeks after my original op and can't remember too much about my unders! Remember tho that the muscle has gone through major trauma so the squeezing is to be expected xxx

mine does it sometimes. It doesnt really bother me though

I'm pre op so perhaps not qualified to comment shrug

but 7 weeks isn't a very long time post op. I'm having partials and asked my PS about returning to exercise, specifically bench presses etc and he said to treat it like an injury and after the all-clear at 6wks ish to take it really slowly and ease back in. It might be every day things that are causing the 'squeeze' but I think you're right to listen to your body and stop doing what your doing if you're worried. I'm sure it will happen less as you body continues to heal over the coming weeks xxx

Thanks Sally for fixing my title!! x

I was guessing that it was because the muscle was still accomodating the new implant...

I should mention though that I have been VERY careful not to do anything strenous, and my ps has said I can do cardio and light legs but no upper body yet... he is strict with my post op care... Because I had the lift too with a large implant I know I really need to baby the new boobies.

I am just hoping that over time it does get less noticable so its not a shock when I do something that involves my chest muscle.

hi ya, i get this all the time too, kinda feels like im putting to much strain/pressure on the implant so i quickly stop whatever im doing, it usually happens wen im shutting my windows, or reaching to far... its weird really and i always worry if i done some damage but im sure its fine x

by sarahdawn31 24th November 2010, 8:29 pm

I am glad to hear you all have the same sensations...

and I feel the same as you Mizzpink that its a weird feeling and you think you did something wrong... but also like you... I am sure its all fine.

i get it when im grating cheese

Its an alarming and odd feeling in the beginning hun but I promise it does ease and you do get used to it after a while. I actually had it really bad and when i had my re-op to move my left implant down my surgeon went in both and cut the muscles to try and ease this a little.

It has helped a little in that they don't distort so much but it still feels a little weird now and again but you do get used to it muscle squeeze 184153

I have the same :( i really dont like it! when I drove my manual car for the first time i hated going into 5th gear as it really tensed my muscle!! and if i do something that tenses the muscle them my boobies are really hard after..... i was a bit worried thinking that they would turn into rocksafter everytime i use my chest muscles :S actually they are still quite firm and its been 6 weeks, is this normal?

Mine are still firm underneath where they are still stretching but the top half is very soft now... but I had a lot of skin so there was a lot more room to fit my implant in. Have you had your 6 wk check yet hun?

that made me laugh because I just had it big time tonight when cutting veggies for our salad for dinner!

Oh ok, yeah mine are still quite firm all over :( i dont have a 6 week check up hun (i had a two week checkup and i am having my next check in feb next year)
if they dont start to soften inn the next few weeks i might give the surgery a call :)
