Chronic pain following breast augmentation.
I found it difficult to follow your question, but it seems as though you've had pain for years since having a breast augmentation and mammograms have been negative. Chronic pain from breast implants can be caused by capsular contracture, neuropathies, or other issues not related to your actual implants (musculoskeletal pain syndromes). Follow up with a plastic surgeon is advised, although the treatment may involve removal of your implants.

Breast pain after augmentation
There are no photos to assess. The large size (DD cup/size 4) is likely contributing to your discomfort. If you like the appearance of the breast and want to maintain that size, then you may need more breast support to avert pain. If there is a focal spot of pain, that might be treatable. You should return to your original plastic surgeon, or another board-certified plastic surgeon if the original surgeon is no longer available.
