A month after breast lift (w/nipple reconstruction) and , I've noticed small lumps on my breast. They're about the size, shape and color (redness) of a pimple. I'm not sure if I ruptured something being too active too soon. It's also very hot where I am (100 deg today) and although I stay inside as much as possible, maybe it's a heat rash. Not sure what it is or what I did to cause it. Please help!

Answer: Swollen nipple glands Thank you for your question and for sharing your photos. You may be referring to the glands within the nipple areolar region that can become more pronounced with breast augmentation/mastopexy procedures. They may soften as the swelling and healing progresses in the breast.

Answer: Montgomery's Glands Montgomery's glands are normal, and have the appearance of bumps in the nipple areolar complex. You may not have noticed them before surgery, but they were there. It is possible that there is swelling which will subside after the wounds have all healed.

Answer: Bumps on the nipple after breast surgery Hi. So these "bumps" are just normal glands. Often after breast surgery especially if the nipple and areola are involved there is some swelling and they can seem enhanced. Additionally you are now much more aware of your breasts then ever before. Totally ok!

Answer: Montgomery's tubercles This is a normal finding. You might be noticing them more just after surgery and in the heat due to swelling and perfusion. The nipple and areola are very vascular and sit atop the breast gland. This too fluctuates and with it the areola as well.

Answer: Bumps on nipples These small bumps are called Montgomery glands, and they are normal. They have always been there, but may just be more noticeable to you after your breast lift. The good news is that they are normal and nothing needs to be done.
