I broke my ribs falling down the stairs around 10 years ago and they caused me pain for years afterwards. I snapped them like sticks on both sides mainly towards the bottom of my rib cage. Although they are ok If I overdo something they can become sore for days. I'm booked in for a breast enlargement This month - is it ok with historical broken ribs? Should I get some X-rays prior? I'm worried that if I have broken ribs over my lungs/heart there could be issues or the implants could rebreak ribs.
