Asked By:maef in far rockaway

I have chostochondritis and was told that added fat and breast implants may help and alleviate my symptoms of the pain in chest. I heard it was a new technique. Since I don't want to take any meds for this issue please let me know. I have been having this issue for a year and have gone to cardiologist and have had extensive testing and it's not my heart
