1 Month P/O and I Feel As if my Nipple Scar Tissue Attached to Muscle
I had surgery and right boob has always been a bit of trouble since the surgery, its been harder and higher and when I massage it it moves everywhere but down , when I push on the implant down doesnt move down at all, it forms a really hard area on the bottom of my breast area and the boob is a bit oddly shaped as if its stuck. I feel that the nipple scar tissue around the aereola is stuck to the muscle. I go to my doc tues. What shld I say to him to make him go back in there and unstick it????

Scar tissue after breast augmentation

One month is too soon, in my opinion, to consider reoperation. Implant dropping, settling, and softening can take 2-6 months, so you will continue to experience appearance and feel changes until then. Be patient!
