Asked By:Roxy5180 in Jacksonville, Florida

I had my surgery 11/2021. Had some complications with my incision. It got infected. They had to dig the staples out. When they took the anchor it left a big hole in the center. Was sorta a nightmare. My doctor didnt recommend massages. Said they were not needed. Now I have this weird pooch that sticks out. Is there a reason why and a way to fix it?
