Plastic Surgery Q and A

Question: After my breast augmentation I felt a tight painful vein on my chest. What is this and will it go away?
Answer: The painful vein on your chest is referred to as Mondors Syndrome. It is Thrombophlebitis of the thoracoepigastric vein of the breast and chest wall. The vein feels tight and it is uncomfortable. Mondors Syndrome is temporary and will resolve in time.
