Axillary breast tissue removal 1 day ago (Photo)

March 8, 2018
Asked By:vc610 in Allentown, PA

I did not see my wounds until this evening and I'm not happy about it. The incision is from under my armpit all the way across and extending outside my armpit. What was the purpose of this. For many years i have covered my arms with sweaters and wore long sleeves to cover my overlapping axillary muscle now i have to continue to cover myself because the scars will show. Should i be freaking out? And m not happy how on the right side the skin looks like its over lapping skin it looks bad.
