Should I treat my costochondritis before a BA?

Hi there, Thank you for your question. We would recommend waiting to have an elective procedure until you have been properly diagnosed. Costochondritis could potentially lead to various contraindications, such as infection. Please speak with your surgeon to discuss your medical history. All the best, 

Costochondritis is a
benign cause of pain and tenderness in your chest.  Pain usually occurs in the costosternal
joints, where the ribs meet the breastbone. Some causes of costochondritis
include a blow to the chest, heavy lifting, hard exercise, or an illness that
causes you to cough and sneeze. Costochondritis typically goes away without
treatment but Tylenol or Advil can help alleviate pain symptoms.  It is important to speak with your primary
care physician prior to surgery about your medical concerns and discuss the
findings with your plastic surgeon.
