I had breast reduction surgery over a year and half ago. Healed well and overall very happy with my scars which mostly consisted of fine white flat lines. However, under each nipple I have now developed what I can best describe as a bubble. Currently the size of a thumb print. It looks like a blister once its popped and drained of its fluid. (not a keloid). My surgeon said its just poor skin quality? Why is this suddenly happening now? How can I treat it? Prevent it from getting worse?

Answer: Problems with breast reduction scar Thank-you for your query. There are multiple possible reasons for the “bubbling” of the scar. You have mentioned some fluid coming out, which can be because of some residual sutures and reaction to the same. The area where you are having the problem is where the scars have maximum tension in breast reduction surgery..There can be an unstable scar which keeps breaking down , which may need revision, You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon as well as your options. All the best!
