I had breast implants put in 7 years ago. I noticed a few years back that i would get random burning pain in my left rib cage area near the bottom. What could be causing this. No shift in implant or any other trama.

Answer: Pain after breast augmentation Without knowing more details and performing an examination, it would be hard to determine the cause of your pain. It may or may not be related to your implants. Burning pain suggests that the pain is caused by nerve irritation. It would be helpful to keep a diary of your pain and keep track to see if there is anything that is causing the pain, whether it goes anywhere else, if there are any other symptoms associated, and treatments you have tried. I would recommend seeing your plastic surgeon to ensure that your implants are not contributing to your pain.

Answer: Lower rib cage pain Dear Klankford24, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.
