I am 2 1/2 months post op, BA and mastopexy. This little purple spot just showed up yesterday. Is this any cause for concern?

This area appears to be a small suture abscess. This can usually be treated with warm compresses and local wound care. Sometimes this requires a visit to your plastic surgeon’s office to have the “spitting suture” removed. Give your surgeon’s office a call to see what they recommend. If you notice any drainage, fever, or redness at this area, notify your surgeon right away as these can be signs of infection. Otherwise you appear to be well healed. Congratulations on your recent procedure.

Dear emeraldnicolee,
It is hard to tell for sure, but based on your photo it looks like you have a spitting suture. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.
