Possible to Have Axillary Web Syndrome After Breast Implant Surgery?

April 3, 2010
Asked By:nics in South Africa

I had implant surgery (axillary incision) 4 weeks ago, and have tight cords running from my armpit down to my wrist. Is this AWS, is it common in breast augmentation surgery and what can I do about it?
