I had a BREAST reduction and free nipple graft 6 months ago. Everything healed fine. Now for about the last ten days one nipple is extremely sore, looks swollen (not just erect) and at times it feels warm to th touch. I get a sharp zing sensation occasionally on only this side. Is it possible for it to be infected after all this time? Or even for the graft to be lost?! My surgeon has since retired and I am at a loss...

Thank you for your question. With a breast reduction and lift, they should have left your tendon alone, and it is likely just swelling in the area. The swelling should resolve in 14-21 days. I hope this helps!
