Blister like area popped under areola stitching? (photo)

Question

Had a donut lift with with silicone implant unders via under breast 8 weeks ago. A blister like spot appeared under my areola stitching. Upon slight pressure applied, the area stuck out as if it were blowing a bubble. The blister then popped, having clear fluid followed by blood. I'm now left with a small hole. What caused this and what should be done?

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

You may have had a small stitch abscess. If a permanent suture was placed, and it is now exposed, you probably need the suture to be removed. This may cause the areola to expand which may eventually need a revision. Best to be seen in person to be sure.

Darryl J. Blinski, MD · Answer

Appears as a deep suture reaction that occurs in some cases. Best to see your surgeon to be examined IN PERSON.///
