Is hardness normal 2 weeks after breast reduction?

Asked By:Anastasia_B in Arlington, VA

Is it fat necrosis? I am a little over 2 weeks post op breast reduction. I have hardness (it feels like thick tissue or one long lump) all along the bottom of my breasts, close to where the underwire of a bra would be. It is under the anchor incision but also extends beyond it. I’m scared it’s fat necrosis. Can this be a normal part of healing? Everything looks normal from the outside.
