Please help! This is my second breast reduction. I had my first 10 years ago and 6 months ago. I included an implant this time around. A couple of weeks after surgery i got a severe infection which took over a month to get rid of and left a huge scar. My question: i am now noticing one areola is red and lumpy and chipping away at the brown getting closer to the nipple. I have been treated by led light for the scarring and was wondering if its causing this or is it something that will go?

Breast reduction create scars both external and internal. I would discuss it with your surgeon if that is still a possibility 26 years later, or at least get an imaging study of the breast to insure all is normal underneath.
