4 months post op breast reduction, nipple not heeling. Thoughts? (photos)

Great question!  Unfortunately because you had an infection in the past, it is taking much longer to heal.  Surgeon usually place many layers of sutures that can take months to dissolve and go away.  If you have even a minor infection of these sutures, then it will take an extended period of time to resolve.  I would continue to followup with your plastic surgeon so he/she can continue to monitor the progress but unfortunately there is not much that can be done at this time.Best of luck and hope this information helps!

Thank you for your pictures and questions. Sorry to hear that you are having problems. Often after an infection, anything is possible. Nothing can replace an exam and discussion with your plastic surgeon.Hope this helps!Dallas R. Buchanan, MD, FACSOwner & Board-Certified Plastic SurgeonVIVIFY plastic surgery

Why are you not seeing your operative surgeon for care? Or seek finding a second opinion and care providing PS. Expect the second PS to charge a fee to be seen and to render care. Also see a dermatologist for any skin issues...

Thank you for your question. It seems that your body is having an issue with some of the deep sutures. It will take some time to heal, I would keep follow up appointments with your plastic surgeon to ensure that there are no residual sutures there why it is taking so long to heal. Good Luck.Tahira Prendergast MD
