Three days ago I started feeling some discomfort during my massaging as well as day to day under my left breast. A raised area and more noticeable crease began to develop as well as pain closer to my rib cage. When I began to do some more research I found that this could possibly be the beginning of a double bubble. I've contacted my PS office and scheduled an appointment. My main concern now is what questions are most important for me to ask him?
Answer: Questions to ask? The area you mentioned can be affected by swelling and soreness after surgery. One of the most common causes of soreness in that location is Mondor's veins which get inflamed. You could also have swelling and burning sensations from normal inflamnation, which will get better. Ask your surgeon to examine you there and for a diagnosis and treatment plan. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo

Answer: 3 weeks post op, some advices: Thanks for the question.In my practice, after performing a BA I recommend to my patients to limit the movement of the arms for two weeks. After that, you can move your arms taking care and always with common sense. In this regard, it's not advisable to carry heavy weights to prevent the implant out of position, and allow the formation of the physiological capsule around the implant, also to avoid pain and breast swelling. Kind regards

Answer: See your PS You need to be examined by your PS and be given appropriate advice. You may have swelling that will settle and you are early postop. Ask about supportive bras and massage when you see your PS.

Answer: Double bubble at lower pole of implanted breasts Hi ElizaguerrThis may or may not be self correcting but only time will tell. This is usually due to a constricting band under the muscle in the area. At time of surgery, it is hard or impossible sometimes to detect and shows up post op. Yours is mild, and over time, as the implant drops and the tissues stretch out, the problem may self correct. I believe that is the answer you seek. Ask your doctor what he thinks.Sek
