Keep getting small abscesses 6 months after breast augmentation. Any advice? (Photo)

Dear Cool837906,
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.

Hello, thank you for your question. This can sometimes occur when a dissolvable suture doesn't dissolve. I would speak to you plastic surgeon about what they suggest doing. sometimes observation is enough.

Thanks for your inquiry, without an exam it is hard to advise. By the picture you possibly are "spitting" suture, which is that not all of your absorbable sutures are absorbing. Some types of suture can take 6 months to absorb. In the meantime they can spit out to the surface. Ask your surgeon about hydrogen peroxide and Bactroban ointment, good luck.
