Can Costochondritis cause complications during surgery?

August 19, 2019
Asked By:mbeti in Chicago, IL

I am having a BA in 2 weeks. I have not been diagnosed but believe that I have Costochondritis. I have done ECG, blood work, and ultrasound on my heart and everything turned out to be normal. 2 years ago I injured myself when I did some chest workouts and the pain never completely went away. I only feel the pain when I do certain movements (have not done any chest workouts since) I am getting a subglandular breast augmentation and I am wondering how will that impact my surgery?
