I noticed a lump behind my incision (you can only feel it, not see it) and it is about the size and feel of a jelly bean. I am 6 weeks post op. Inframmamary incision. My surgeon examined me and said it is most likely some scar tissue around an internal stitch that is refusing to dissolve. Will it go away? Could this be a sign that I will get capsular contracture, since its my immune systems doing? I hate massaging it as it makes me feel nauseous but Im trying my best.
I am 4 weeks post-op from a breast augmentation procedure. I had my incisions in the axilla region. One of my incions has formed a large knot at and below the incision line. There is no overt redness or drainage. There is a moderate amount of pain. This site also seems to track the right tendon above the suture. Do I have cause for concern?
Around maybe day 2 post-op I noticed a tiny bruise on the inner side of my left breast. Around day 3/54, I started feeling around the bruise and I noticed that under the skin there is a small knot/lump about half the size of a gum ball. Are tiny knots/lumps normal to feel after a breast augmentation? I go for my one week postop appointment tomorrow so I will surely ask. I guess I just want a little reassurance in the meantime!Otherwise I am 100% happy with the outcome so far!!
I have a quarter sized lump/knot under my right incision site in my armpit. it doesn't appear to the the mondor's chord, as it's just a lump. It's fairly sensitive, but both sites are as they are still healing. I see my PS on Monday, and I'm still taking antibiotics, just wondering if this is something that is common? I've attached a photo and circled where the lump is just so you can see where it's located. It's under the skin, so you can't really see much.
Left breast has reduced in swelling except for a hard and painful baseball sized knot next to the cleavage. There is little to no swelling in the right breast. What can I do to reduce swelling.
I'm almost 4 weeks post op breast lift/aug. From pictures I've seen, these look like spitting stitches but a lot of them. I have knots under the skin along incision and I can feel something that feels like a thick string connecting the knots. Is this really bad?What's going on??? Also my breast are still very sore.
