Is there anything i can do to prevent mondors cords prior to getting my breast augmentation?

It is such a rare event. Les then 1% for sure. I do not know of any treatment protocol to reduce the risk. Good Luck and please seek out a board certified plastic surgeon.

Thanks for your question. Mondors cord is a thrombosed superficial vein in the breast. I can happen with or without breast augmentation. Fortunately the treatment is generally a warm compress and time. If it occurs outside the time frame where you have a risk of post surgical bleeding an asprin may help as well. A cord can happen with any approach but can be more common when the incision is under the breast.  Sometimes the cord is not a thrombosed vein, but rather an inflamed lymphatic duct. Either way the treatment is the same and it resolves on its own over time.There is no specific way to prevent it, but knowing about it and treating it promptly can help to resolve it more quickly. Even though it occurs it is seen relatively rarely.Happy holidays and best wishes.
