Breast implant removal and Discomfort?

Thank you for the question. Yes, the discomfort you are feeling early after surgery is likely very normal. this is likely related to inflammation in the area. your plastic surgeon will be able to reassure you best after direct examination. Best wishes.

Pain along rib cage after breast implant removal

Pain along the rib cage certainly can occur after removal of implants especially if the capsule was removed. you should check with your doctor, becuase it could be due to other things.
