Mondors Chord Breast Implant Removal

asked 1 year ago by anon
Latest answer by Steven Wallach, MD
Question viewed 317 times

was having very little pain up until 2 days ago. Pain in area below left breast. radiates down to my abdomen. was told this was mondors chord. but i dont see the chord like in usual cases. nor do i feel it with my fingers. i am currently 60lbs over weight. i thought perhaps my extra fatty tissue in the area may prevent me from seeing it. is it possible to have mondor's chord but not see the actual vein/chording? there is no bruising, swelling, redness in the area. all looks normal. it is also numb.

Mondor's cord

I think I just answered this question, but a Mondor's cord is superificial thrombophlebitis, and you should feel it and see it.

Mondor's cord after breast implant removal

You could have a cord or other inflmmed entrapped nerve. Generally these resolve but may take up to 6-9 months. Occasionally warm conpressed and motrin may help to ease the discomfort, if permitted by your surgeon.

Breast implant

If it is mondor, then the treatment may include antibiotics. It is self limiting, and should resolve.
