Asked By:brookek666 in Briarcliff Manor, NY

I had a breast reduction surgery on Dec 5. I went from a 36E to about a C cup. About 4 weeks after the surgery I had fluid buildup and ended up in the ER. They drained my left breast and gave me anti biotics to kill the infection. Now, my right breast has hardened up and looks deformed. At my follow up appointment, my surgeon said my breast will settle and the hardness will go away with time if massage it everyday. (Which I have been doing 10 min 3x a day)
