I will be seeing my doctor this week however still wanted to ask, if I need a revision on the initial incision under the breast towards the cleavage so it follows the breast crease, which in this case doesn’t and it’s creating a dog ear and a bubble on the side of the incision, is this something that can be done in the office or does this mean another major surgery to be able to achieve ?
