I have pain in my back that seems to stem from the scar tissue.

However the nerve pain or loss of sensation is typically on the breasts and occasionally below the arm pit. However the nerves that cause back pain are not near the breast area in breast surgery is unlikely to cause back pain.

Answer: Can scar tissue from a breast lift cause nerve damage? Certainly there is a chance that you can experience some temporary "twinges" or "zings" of nerve pain as the nerves grow back after a breast lift--this is a normal part of healing after breast surgery. Generally this takes several months to improve. It seems highly unlikely that any breast tissue scarring would result in back pain at all. Occasionally women will have upper back/neck pain from having excessively large breasts. I would suggest exploring some other potential causes of back pain with your primary MD.

Answer: Breast lift scars and pain Breast lift, or mastopexy, is usually performed with incisions that some people refer to as an anchor. This involves a scar around the areola, extending down to and within the lower breast crease. Over time these scars heal but they will always be visible. It is rare for these scars to cause prolonged discomfort but in the early stages of healing there may be some pain and feelings of tightness. This discomfort would rarely extend to the back. Soft tissue massage is often beneficial.
