Had recent pain and soreness down side upon raising arm and sleeping on that side. Noticed a thin cordlike string that the pain followed when arm raised up, from the lower breast to outer lower abdomen. After 3 weeks, pain is lessening but vein still swollen with some tenderness. Any concerns with this occurring so long after surgery and any other similar cases seen?
Answer: Development of Mondor's disease 17 years after breast augmentation surgery? Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry to hear of your Mondor's Cords. Though typically found in the initial recovery from surgery, Mondors can take place at any time as it is an irritation/inflammation of the veins in that region. Typically treated with warm compresses and NSAID's it should pass quickly. If it does not I would see your internal medicine doctor for an evaluation.

Answer: Mondors 17 years post BA? No, this is not Mondors phenomenon so many years after BA. Mondors is blockage of superficial veins that occur at the time of surgery and appear right away or after edema resolves. You should see your primary care doctor or gynecologist for breast evaluation urgently.Best of luck!

Answer: Mondor's disease 17 yrs after breast augmentation? Or somthing else? Mondor's disease or inflammation of the superficial veins is usually seen early after the breast augmentation surgery, often on the chest wall or on the lower portion of the breast. This inflammation resolves with topical treatment. I would see your primary doctor for a complete evaluation as this may not be Mondor's disease or phenomenon. FACT: Liposuction removes unwanted fat from any area treated.FACT: Skin that has been stretched to cause stretch marks ( like after pregnancy or large weight loss, like >100lb) has LOST ELASTICITY. The more fat removed, the more extra skin can show. FACT: Not every "tummy' after pregnancy is JUST FAT. There could be inner core weakness.FACT: Just because you COULD have a tummy tuck, does not mean that you MUST have a tummy tuck. ANSWER: Is liposuction a good choice after pregnancy? It all depends on what you will feel is a result that will make you feel better about your body and your self. Ask yourself:

Answer: Mondor's Disease after breast augmentation Mondor's Disease occurs in about 1% of breast augmentation patients, but typically soon after surgery. Since you are now 17 years out, I would highly recommend that you be evaluated by your primary doctor because there is a small chance that this could be associated with a breast cancer. I'm not trying to frighten you, but your question cannot be answered without an evaluation in person.
