Answer: Ribcage discomfort I'm sorry to hear of the discomfort you are experiencing. I encourage you to return to your surgeon for an evaluation to determine if your pain is related to your implants. If it isn't your surgeon will advise you the next step to take.

Answer: Rib cage pain with breast implants Hello, thank you for you question. Sorry to hear that you have been experiencing chronic discomfort and pain with your implants. Consider going to your family doctor for an examination of the area and rule out any other possibilities. Although it is possible to have some initial pain from breast augmentation one that lasts for up to 6 years is not so common. Something to help alleviate perhaps the pressure on the ribs is to wear a supportive bra always including work outs. You still need continuous support to the area.

Answer: Implants You may have some scar tissue that is pressing on a small sensory nerve. You could visit with a pain specialist and see if injections can relieve some of your discomfort, or go down in size.
