Shocked to find "Serratus Sling" in my op report. Is this why I have chronic back pain? Need advice on repair
Hi everyone,
I’m 7 months post-op (320cc Motiva Ergonomix, Dual Plane). I started as a natural B cup (160cm height), so I never thought my surgery would be overly complex. However, I’ve been suffering from persistent, debilitating back pain and a weird "pulling" sensation ever since.
I finally requested my operation report, and I was shocked to read that my surgeon created a "Serratus Sling". From what I’ve researched, the Serratus Anterior is usually a "no-touch" zone in standard breast augmentations.
I’m now planning an explant because the discomfort is unbearable. My questions for the community and any surgeons here:
How common is a Serratus Sling? Why would a surgeon do this to someone who already had decent breast tissue (B cup)?
Repair process: Is it possible to fully "undo" this sling and restore the muscle to its original anatomical position?
Surgeon choice: Does this require a super-specialist in reconstruction/explant, or can any board-certified plastic surgeon handle this type of muscle repair?
I’m feeling pretty devastated that my anatomy was altered this way without my realization. Any advice on what to ask during my revision consults would be appreciated.
