I had a breast aug and a lift 4 weeks ago this Friday.. My incision on my right breast has a white lump it's more red then my left breast and is very itchy will this heal on it's own?
Answer: Bump along your incision Heather, This likely is an absorbable suture that hasn't fully been absorbed by your body. In order to dissolve a suture your body causes an inflammatory response that breaks down the suture. This can sometimes cause a bump or a raised red area. Make sure you let your surgeon know and he/she will exam you to make certain that's what is occurring. Also, scars take 6-12 months to fully mature and soften. During the first few months they tend to be slightly raised and red until they mature and fade. As always, make sure you see a board certified plastic surgeon to assure you're getting the best possible treatment. Good luck and I hope you have a speedy recovery.
