335 hp 5 weeks post op the swelling has seem to gone done allot but I was wondering if it's normal for the incision in the inframmary crease to still be swollen.
Answer: How long does the swelling in the incision site last? Hello The inflammation process can last from 6 months to 1 year, each patient has an individual recovery process. To make an opinion specific on your case I would have to see some pictures first so I recommend to consult your doctor with this concern you have. Good luck. Regards Dr. Israel Mañon Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Incision swelling Typically, there is a many month period where the perceived "thickness" of the tissues in the incision area is more pronounced and the area feels more firm and may even be more sensitive. This continues to improve for over a year. Be patient.If the actual scar itself is red, firm, raised that is different and you would need to see your surgeon for advice.
