Redness and drooping 2 weeks post-op breast reduction. Advice?

May 30, 2018
Asked By:sarahbeth429

I had a breast reduction two weeks ago today. My right side is healing beautifully, but my left side looks and feels incredibly strange. The vertical incision going down from my nipple is raised, and it looks as if the inside half of my left breast is drooping. The outside half of my left breast looks higher. It honestly looks like half of my breast is going f to fall right off. I also have redness on the outside half of my left breast that is hot to the touch. Help!
