Is this amount of scabbing normal three weeks after a breast reduction? (Photos)

July 1, 2017
Asked By:SydneyDuncan in Gainesville, FL

I am almost three weeks post op from my breast reduction. I feel great for the most part! However I am concerned because I still have a lot of scabbing on my right breast (on the "T" inscision). My surgeon explained that he removed quite a bit more from my right breast. Could this be a result of slower healing? What is the normal duration to keep scabs? I have an appointment with him in two weeks, should I make an appointment before then?
