I originally had breast augmentation in 2016- subpectoral. I was 37 y.o. 128 lbs, athletic body type. In 2018 I developed chronic upper back/neck pain. In 2020 I had breast implants removed. The pain persists. I have severe animation deformity with any arm movement and my pec region always feels tight. Could it be that pec muscle has adhered to chest wall causing all issues? Countless phys. therapists said tight pecs can certainly cause upper back/ neck pain. contemplating muscle reattachment.

Answer: Breast animation deformity and chronic pain - could the cause be that my pec muscle has adhered to the chest wall? Hello @skayefox, thank you for your question. I understand your concerns regarding breast animation deformity and chronic pain. It's possible that the underlying cause of your symptoms could be related to your pectoral muscle adhering to the chest wall. However, a thorough consultation and examination would be necessary to determine the cause of the problem and treat it. Reconstruction surgery may be an option to correct the aesthetic component of your concerns. However, additional diagnostic testing may be necessary to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and develop an appropriate treatment plan. With that said, it's important to have consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon to assess your individual situation and provide you with the best recommendations for your unique needs.

Answer: See a plastic surgeon Hello. If our breast moves with arm movement, then very likely, the breast tissue and skin have adhered to the underlying muscle. Whether this is the cause of your pain requires more investigation. It's best you see a board-certified plastic surgeon examine you and go over your surgical history.
