Is This Mondor's Disease on the Upper Chest? (photo)

VeedubMar 13, 2013
Hi, I have a visible vein just above my cleavage on my right side. Although the skin isn't red or broken, it feels as though something is scraping along or burning the vein. I noticed it a couple of days after my operation (now 16 days post revision BA for CC). Is it Mondor's disease? I read that it's quite rare. Has anyone heard of an association between people who get Mondor's and CC. Thanks.

Most likely you had horizontal nipple asymmetry before surgery. I would check your preoperative photos. You may have never noticed before because your breasts were smaller. Once they are enlarged with implants, even subtle horizontal nipple asymmetry becomes much more apparent. This can be...

By not having the lift you needed (did you participate in that decision?) and by trying to place the implants as low as possible and by using big heavy implants, you were more at risk of a double bubble, which you seem to have.  Revision (plus a lift) can be done but most doctors would do...

   The difference of 50 cc at that high of a volume will not make a great deal of difference and will be barely noticeable.  The addition of 200 cc or 250 cc from your original size should increase you at least one cup size.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Hello, I have just a few additional thoughts. Your breasts naturally have slightly laterally placed nipples and you will always have some separation between your breasts , which is normal. To give you more middle fullness the implant would have to be placed more toward the middle of your breast...
