My PS did it today in his office when I showed him how they were. I'm not sure what he did exactly but they are gone now. He only used his hands and we can't figure out what he did. I wonder if they can come back?
Answer: Bands below the breasts after breast surgery
Best thing to do is massage, heat treatments and non-steroidal like Motrin, etc.
They are temporary and should resolve within a month.
Nothing but the best,

Answer: Did You Ever Hear of Mondors Bands Being Cured by Manual Manipulation?
Mondor's disease is self limiting and generally benign. A cause is often not identified, but when found include trauma, surgery, or inflammation such as infection. There have been occasional cases of associated malignancy.[4] Management is with warm compresses and pain relievers, most commonly NSAIDS such as ibuprofen. (from wikepedia). I never recommend massages.

Answer: Cord on the breast
The sudden appearance of a cord under the skin , that is initially red and tender and subsequently becomes a painless, tough, fibrous band that is accompanied by tension and skin retraction, is mondors disease. Treatment is symptomatic because, to date, the disease has proved to be benign and self-limited. I have had tension bands along the infra-mammary fold underneath the breast and along the upper outer border of the breast . It has self resolved and stretching along the arm-breast junction is helpful .

Answer: Breast Augmentation complications
Mondor's disease is the inflammation and fibrosis of small veins, caused in breast augmentation by the fact that these little veins are cut when making the incision below the breast.. Surgeons sometimes also see this phenomenon in the arm after removing unwanted breast tissue in the armpit (axillary breasts).
Treatment is usually not required after breast augmentation as the condition resolves by itself, but may include manual massage or manipulation, which is a common treatment for fibrosis.

Answer: Not all bands under the lower breast are Mondors bands I have definitely had a few patients form bands after a BA, that are located on the lower portion of the breast. they go away with no treatment but they go away faster if they are gently massaged, with your hand behind your head to increase the stretch on them. they are just fibrous bands and are not inflamed veins. i have not needed it but i suspect doing ultrasound by a PT would speed up their resolution as well. david berman md
