Blistering at 4 months in a TRAM flap.
Thank you for your question. This is certainly unusual to see an isolated blister in the center of a TRAM flap at 4 months. The most likely causes for blistering are local skin irritation, a burn, or a decrease in the blood supply to the area. I would recommend following up with your plastic surgeon. They may wish to send a culture of the blister fluid or a biopsy of the skin if no apparent causation can be determined.

Blister post reconstruction
Since this has not healed I think a biopsy may be in order to see what this might be.Your plastic surgeon or a dermatologist can do this.
