I've had several breast surgeries for breast reconstruction. 2/26/2019 I had a revision lift to the left side with implant exchange, same size. My surgeon placed my new implant through the vertical incision for the lift. I have scar tissue from the vertical lift or underlying muscle attaching to my implant pocket. I had 11 sessions of massage and I'm about to start six sessions of physical therapy prescribed by my surgeon. Anything else to relieve the amount of animation under the left breast?

You probably do have a stitch that instead of absorbing is trying to break through. Once dissolved or removed, it should heal up well. Your primary care physician could open and remove it under local if needed.
