It hurts!! What is this and why did this happen and will this go away! HELP
Answer: Cord underneath the breast Thanks for the excellent photo and question.You have something called a "Mondor's cord". It is a superficial vein that has clotted due to the pressure of your breast augmentation on the vein.This is not a dangerous situation. It is, however, tender and painful.The cord will go away on its own, but you can make the process go quicker by taking a baby aspirin every day (with food) for two weeks and applying a heating pad. The cord should get better over the next few weeks.Good Luck.

Answer: Vertical skin under breast This can be an effect of scar contraction. If this has happened shortly after your operation it might resolve on its own. However in certain cases it might require injections or scar revision to resolve.

Answer: Cord Thank you for your question and photograph. Your photograph and description indicate that you have an inflamed vein, known as a Mondor's cord. My advice would be anti-inflammatory medication and warm compresses to the area. Best to follow-up with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Vertical pulling following breast augmentation Great question! Not to worry, what you are experiencing is referred to as Mondor's cords. Mondors cords are vertical bands visibly extending from below your incision to the lower chest area. These cords are irritated veins just under the skin that can accompany any type of breast surgery. The treatment is anti-inflammatories and warm compresses. These cords may take up to few months to fully heal.
