About 2 1/2 years ago I started developing neck, shoulder and upper back pain. I been to a physical therapy, chiropractor and had injections. I'm now concerned that my problem may be my breast implants. I've had gel implants since 2007. I'm fairly small boned and my bra size is a 32D. Is it possible that my implants could be the source of my shoulder and upper back pain?

Answer: Breast implant size and back/neck/shoulder pain Yes, having a 32D breast is going to potentially create back/neck/shoulder pain- whether or not they are natural breasts or breasts that have been implanted to create that size.I would recommend having the #breastimplants removed and give it about 6 months time to see if the upper #backpain resolves and how much natural excess skin retraction you have . You can then make a decision about getting a breast lift and/ or smaller implants.

Answer: Can large breast implants cause back, neck, and shoulder pain? Many women with large breasts compared to the reset of their body proportions may experience back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, and headaches. These combined symptoms are commonly referred to symptomatic macromastia. Women can experience these symptoms from breasts that are naturally larger than their body proportions as well as large breast implants which may be out of proportion to their body size. Once the breasts are reduced in size or the large implants are removed, the vast majority of women obtain a great deal of improvement with regards to their pain symptoms. I would suggest that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeons to see if the large implants are causing your pain and what options are available to you. Good luck!
