Will painful rubs 2 years on from breast reduction remain?

cat2307
I had a successful breast reduction in March 2021. It has been fantastic and life changing. During the recovery period I had a thick band from below my right breast to abdomen, like a piece of dry spaghetti. This eventually disappeared but I continue to have very sensitive and bruised like feelings on my lower ribs. Initially my surgeon said it was likely some fascia was pulled up. I just want to find out if it’s likely this will remain now? Or could it be something totally unrelated?! thanks
