Can a breast implant sit on a nerve?

February 26, 2018
Asked By:bornandbread in Southampton, GB

I have implants in both my breasts but my reconstructive one has caused nothing but problems since I had an infection five years ago. Since then I have had another implant (last surgery 4 years ago). I get pain in my breast so I saw my plastic surgeon recently about this and he thinks my implant is sitting on a nerve but seems reluctant to do anything about it.
