Swelling, lump on the wound site almost 1 year post-op. What can I do? (Photo)

Dear Jansenfly,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

It looks like you would benefit from a scar revision which may be performed under local anesthesia. Ask your surgeon for their input.

It’s hard to tell you what’s going on with limited information and information a bit out of context.
I suggest you follow up with your provider since that is who is responsible for the outcome of the procedure.
If your provider is not giving you sufficient information then schedule a second opinion in person consultation with another provider.Best,
Mats Hagstrom MD
