Inframmatory Incision Irritated - 6 Weeks Post Op. What's Causing This? All Bras Are Uncomfortable & Tight! (photos)

March 3, 2014
Asked By:Perky_Pgh in Pittsburgh, PA

6 weeks post op, silicone, 355cc. When my PS removed my bandages at 4 weeks, he was surprised at how well I was healing & barely noticeable scars! Recently I noticed irritation at my incisions & even my bras that I wore the first few weeks after surgery are tight. No bras feel comfortable & are rubbing incision sites. And no, I'm not wearing underwires. What's causing this or how to relieve some of the rubbing? As you can tell, there is some bumpy scar tissue along with redness and a line. Help!
