Anyone had these?
I'm 3 weeks post op & suddenly feel like I'm being tightened under my boobs. These horrible stringy lines are showing too. How long before they go away & I can move normally without feeling like I'm gonna rip??

Mondors is VERY common babe. Don't worry although its not comfortable it will settle down. Massage helps as Tink suggested but if your wound is still healing and you haven't yet been given the all clear for massage its fine to leave them alone. There's no need to do anything to them really, they will go all on their own, but if you can massage they would have helped further.

So its nothing at all to worry about Lorraine. Its just another thing we have to deal with for some after a BA just like nerve pain, or over sensitive nipples... But they all eventually do come good. Xx
