Asked By:mybreasts in Melbourne, AU

BA 11 years ago, breast fed two children (last 6 years). No problems with the implants at all, until 3 weeks ago. Intermittent pain on left close to middle of chest. Push ups don't hurt at all, so the PS thinks not muscular. PS thought it's the capsule, not necessarily contracture Says no surgery needed, but to treat with Vitamin E /massage. ? sounds about right or should get another opinion? No changes to appearance/ hardening/ placement. slightly more rippling on left over the years. tear d
