Could breast implant removal help w/ neck pain and headaches? I have Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, diagnosed by venogram.

July 16, 2019
Asked By:poodlex3 in Oklahoma City, OK

I'd like to start w/ breast reduction/explantation rather than scalenectomy and rib removal. I no longer like the size of my implants anyway, though I've never had any problems with them, I have had 2 different sets (1978 and 2004), last set is textured silicone subglandular. Wondering if anyone has experience w/ TOS or headaches and neck pain that have improved w/ reduction and explantation.
