After Breast Reduction and Have a Veiny Feeling?

Congratulations on having undergone the breast reduction procedure. Precise diagnosis and recommendations would require direct examination. Your description however is consistent with a thrombophlebitis of the veins under your breasts (Mondor's veins). This condition is usually self limited; symptoms may be treated with anti-inflammatories and/or warm compresses. Check with your plastic surgeon before beginning any treatment regimen. Best wishes. more

Chrystal, It is possible that you have a Mondor's cord. If so, this is not a serious problem and it will improve with time. Be sure to keep your follow-up appointment with your surgeon. Ibuprofen seems to help, but you must check with your surgeon to be sure this is okay. Good luck! Michael Novia, MD
