I had 250cc breast implants removed plus an areola reduction in 2020. Scars are horrendous but that aside. I have Neuropathic Pain - burning sensation of skin on abdomen, upper body & scalp. It started weeks after surgery, noticeably on scalp 1st then entire upper body. The burning has been there almost 24/7, every day. My question: is it at all possible this nerve pain is caused by the implant removal surgery or awful scarring?
