Is it normal to still have a scab after 6 weeks post breast augmentation? (photo)

Bianca goodallJul 21, 2017
I had a breast augmentation done 6 weeks ago, my left breast is still slightly higher than the other one and I still have a bit of a scab on the scar on my left breast, its not sore or red. I had a bit of whitish pinkish spotting after cleaning the scar. Overall my breast is nice and soft and the swelling is going down nicely. Do I need to be concerned about the scabbing?

Thank you for your question. It is difficult to explain how to measure your breasts. I would return to your surgeon and have them show you so that you can gain a better understanding.
