Breast Augmentation :: Breast Implants :: Risk and Complication - Mondor's Cord

mondor's cord

Mondor's Cord is the developing of hardening or blood clot in a vein leading away from the surface of the breast. This may develop about a month to six weeks after any type of breast surgery. Patients often notice it when they move or stretch the skin.

Treatment for Mondor's Cord
The cord is tender but not dangerous, and it will usually disappear on its own. The only recommended treatment is careful warmth and pain killers, although some surgeons like to prescribe anti-inflammatory medications.
