Lumps along incision, breast reduction, 9 months out.

Asked By:KatySS in Dobbs Ferry, NY

I'm 9 months out from a breast reduction and found 3 hard lumps along the incision line on my left breast. They are fairly small, fixed and hard. Is this normal for this stage of healing? All lumps are just under the incision. Should I be worried?
