7 months post op - non absorbable sutures used and now experiencing pain in scar area. What can I do to improve this? (photo)

alohaflowerMar 16, 2023
I am almost 7 months post op, NON absorbable sutures were used so this isn’t a spitting stitch. I showed my surgeon and I was told all is normal , but it HURTS and it does not look like the rest of the scar. I was instructed to continue using silicone sheeting and massage, but it still does not show improvement … it appears worse. It looks like a blood blister that just won’t go away. Any advice is appreciated im just very lost on what this is and what to do. Thank you

You are a good candidate for a breast augmentation with small implants. Consider moderate profile implants or low plus profile so you don't have more than one cup increase in size. Please visit with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Thanks for your question! There is no exact answer to give you until you get fitted after surgery. Generally speaking, dropping 300cc should take you down about 2 cup sizes. Good luck!

Dear Creative116873, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations. Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American...
