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: 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: Bumps on nipple as discussed below, the bumps are small normal glands on the nipple. They are swollen and should return to a similar size as before with time.

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.
