Problem with my leftie - scared!!

Just as i was about to start enjoying my new additions......Ive just noticed today after my shower and i took my steri strips off that under my left incision there seems to be what looks like 2 big "vain-like" things popping out! I dont know if they are muscles (i think they are) and they run up my side and through/into the scar.

I notice it more when i lean back or try to reach up with my left arm, the lines seem to pop out more when i do that!

My right side is perfect, no issues, and i never had this before the op so somethings not right. Maybe im only getting to see it now that the swelling has gone down and the scars are healing a bit.

I do remember on about day 3 or 4 my boyfriend tried to help me sit back in the bed and "something" happened to my left boob it was like something snapped or spasmed, it was so sore i was screaming and crying. Im thinking maybe whatever it was, this might be the aftermath of that thing that happened....

Im scared. My next appointment at Transform is on 16th to see the surgeon, ill be quizzing him big time!

Has anyone else had anything like this???

Ive took 2 quite good pics of it, if someone can let me know how i can go about showing you the pics i will....

Thanks ladies xxxx

I'm not 100 percent sure but some people get monders cord I've seen it on here before google it and see if it related to you it's perfectly normal and I think it's trauma to the veins during surgery I'm sure someone will be along to help you soon x

Hey shirtripper, omg i cannot thank you enough for your advice!! Ive just googled it and the pics on here are exactly what ive got!!:

Ive never heard of monders cord before, this sounds and looks exactly like what ive got under my leftie, 2 vain-like things just like in the picture on the webpage! At least i know its harmless and goes away, phew!

My mind in now at rest, im actually crying now with relief...

Thanks again, i dont know what id do without this site and you lovely girls xxx

Glad shirtstripper could help you so quickly barbirgirl. I had LOADS of mondors cords under my boobs and they lasted about 4 weeks. Worse when I stretched up or pulled my boobs upwards during massage. I massaged the scars every day and tried to include the cords - they snapped, crackled and popped for days and days ( ) but it was temporary thank heavens. Perfectly normal.

Aww thanks sue! It really puts my mind at rest, i was actually in tears earlier when i didnt know what it was, my mind was thinking id need to be operated on again or that id something wrong!

So glad its normal, ive never even heard of it before, you learn something new every day! Im glad to know it goes away eventually thankfully!

I had 2 under one boob and 1 under the other!!,dont worry ,they go away after a few weeks ,if they feel a bit painful put some frozen peas on for 20 mins,i did and it eased them as sometimes they felt abit sore !xxx
