I have had my implants for 13 years. I have never had any issues. I was sick with a cough for 2 weeks. Now every time I breathe in deeply or sneeze or cough I have pain in my one breast. This has been over a week now and when I think it’s getting better it comes back. What could this be?

Answer: Breast pain Dear Bebegirl,Thanks for the question. Your Plastic Surgeon or family doctor would be best to answer this question after examining you. It could be a variety of issues. If the affected breast is not harder, red or hotter than the other side, it is not likely to be an infection with resultant capsular contracture. It could be pain where the cartilage meets the ribs called costochondritis which is treated with anti-inflammatories like Motrin/Advil/Naprosyn/Aspirin etc.Go to either your Plstic Surgeon of private MD for evaluation.Best of luck with your recovery.Dr T
