Why do I still have breast pain 2 years after capsulectomy Breast Implant Removal?

Question

Over two years ago I had a Capsulectomy done. I have had pain in both Breasts non stop for two years. Have been to pain management and had nerve blocks physical therapy, laser therapy but nothing takes the pain away. It is like a tight belt around my chest. What could cause this.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

I'm sorry to hear of the pain you have been experiencing.  Without an exam, or possibly some further testing, it's not possible to say what is causing your discomfort.  I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for an exam and discussion of next steps to help alleviate your discomfort.

Dear snooker224,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.
