Rib Pain 2 Months Post Op Breast Reduction?

January 18, 2013
Asked By:Jesi

I had my breast reduction/lift a little over 2 months ago and the past week I have been having a pain in my ribs under my right breast. It feels like bruised ribs and slightly swollen and tender to the touch. When I lift my right arm over my head it feels like something is pulling and really tight and pinches. The right breast is still puckered on the bottom of the vertical incision that goes down from the areole. (I have the lollipop incision.) please help! I'm freaking out!
