I had my breas reduction performed in July 2022. The procedure went well, although i had a post-op infection after approximately a week. My lft breast breast is puckered underneath and above the nipple. I just want to know my possible options if any. Thank you in advance.
Im 11 months post op Breast Reduction /Lift.. where my drains were at the end of my incisions are very puckered out. I paid to have my side boob liposuctioned out of pocket because I was told it would look odd if I did the front but left the side fat and this cost me over $1,000. Besides that I love the work that was done. At about 6 months they said I was still swollen and it would go down but it hasnt. Just wondering my best plan of action or if this is a different issue all together.
I've had a breast reducstuon and lift through a Lollipop incision. I am 4 weeks post op. The red inflamed bump is hard as rock, doesn't hurt only when I push hard. What is it? Also there is lots of puckering of skin, does this mean my boobs will sag a lot?
14 days past breast reduction and have some quite deep puckering of the mammary fold in my cleavage area on one side. My PS said this will go away but after much research I am not so convinced. Is this something that will go away with massafe etc? My left breast is perfect but the right there is a clear tight area with a fold of skin below. (Ignore the redness, was a reaction to the tape and is fine now!)
My surgeon says- its a puckered areola. When the sutures dissolve the puckering will resolve. Thoughts? Also, asymmetrical breast. Prior to surgery I had fairly even breast- i had 800 grams removed from one and 850 from the other. Cause of current asymmetry? Thoughts? Obviously, following closely with my board certified surgeon, I would like other options.
I got my reduction on 12/06, so about a week and a half ago. Firstly, my doctor said to leave the tape on until it falls off, which it's starting to do. Is it too early? I have a history of bad scarring, so should I re-tape it? Secondly, and slightly more worrisome, around my right nipple, where the tape is coming off the most, the skin is extremely puckered, almost pleated. Is that OK and normal?
I am 3 1/2 weeks post bilateral breast reduction. After getting the glue and tape off at my PS's office, I noticed my right breast's areola had a large indentation and a pucker. My PS said it was a deep suture pulling and causing the distortion and would eventually loosen as the sutures dissolve. Is this accurate? My left breast is perfect! It's almost like the PS sutured one breast and someone else sutured the other! Completely different incisions and wound approximation on each side. Any advice?
I had my breast reduction/lift a little over 2 months ago and the past week I have been having a pain in my ribs under my right breast. It feels like bruised ribs and slightly swollen and tender to the touch. When I lift my right arm over my head it feels like something is pulling and really tight and pinches. The right breast is still puckered on the bottom of the vertical incision that goes down from the areole. (I have the lollipop incision.) please help! I'm freaking out!
