What can I do about a sore back and ribs after breast surgery?

Hi ririk,

I am sorry to hear about what you are experiencing. It is difficult to ascertain what this is and its causes. It is best that you visit a board certified plastic surgeon near you to have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Thank you for your question.It is difficult to say without a proper in person assessment. Please try speaking to your surgeon again, or please see another doctor for an in person assessment.You may learn more on our social media (Instagram and Snapchat): @realdrsix.Best of luck

Hello and thank you for your question. It is very difficult to assess without knowing the details of your surgery and an in person evaluation. I would seek the advise of a plastic surgeon or primary care physician near you for proper diagnosis. Best of luck to you.

It is hard to say what could be causing your back pain without knowing what other medical conditions may be contributing to your symptoms. I would recommend you follow up with a primary care doctor to make sure this is not being caused by something other than your breast implants.
