The pictures are 3 weeks post breast augmentation. I still have tenderness and can't extended my arms all the way up, I expected that to be normal. What's not normal is the way they look. One has a bump under the stitching and what looks like a tendon that protruding when I extend my arm. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

Answer: Transaxillary breast augmentation Thank you for your pictures. Your incisions are not healing as well this traditional transaxillary breast augmentation incisions typically do. I would continue to follow up with your plastic surgeon. I would allow at least 8 months to 12 months worth of healing before considering any revision.Good luck.Earl Stephenson Jr MD DDS FACS

Answer: Everything was done appropriately or your surgeon wouldn't be in business. But you do have some inflamed incisions that you must simply allow time for healing. You can always bring this to your surgeon's attention as your surgeon is most familiar with how the armpit wounds heal. And if an untoward events occur, your surgeon can be ready to manage it.
