Nerve pain after 3 years of breast augmentation -- under the muscle silicone implant.

April 23, 2017
Asked By:farnaz31 in Bushey, GB

I have had my breast augmentation about 3 years ago , 2 years ago I started to have terrible eye pain and headaches, after 6 months I had an injection for occipital neuralgia as all tests were done. Now I still have pain under my arm, it feels worst when I don't have a proper posture , it has become very sensitive. Can it be related to my implants? Have they caused nerve damaged? Thank you

Bruce K. Smith, MD says:

Infection is a very inconvenient but thankfully rare event after breast implants. In my experience it is very difficult to maintain or "salvage" an implant that has become significantly infected. Minor subcutaneous infections that do not involve the capsule of the implant or minor degrees of...
