Is this white pimple like bump on my incision normal? (Photo)

Question

I am 2 months post Breast Aug and noticed this small white pimple on my incision. It does not hurt or itch.

Gary Lawton, MD, FACS · Answer

At two months everything should be pretty well healed.  If you have a new bump it needs to be evaluated and addressed by the surgeon.

You most like have what is know as a stitch abscess or a spitting stitch.  Often they open on their own, drain and go away. See your surgeon, they can easily take care of it.Yours,Jon M. Grazer, MD, MPH, FACS

Thank you for your question about breast augmentation.You will need to return to see your surgeon to be sure, but this may simply represent a dissolving suture or small epithelial cyst.Again, check with your plastic surgeon.I hope this helps.

Curtis Wong, MD · Answer

but at this point, its rare for anything concerning to develop.  As mentioned by others, best to see your surgeon to get the reassurances you need that all is well.

Gerard Lambe, MBChB · Answer

Hi this looks very much like a reaction to a buried knot in the stitch and will often drain on its own. See your Ps for a full examination to be surebest wishes
