3 years post op- Irritation on healed breast implant scar, what could this be? Pimple or cyst? (photos)

K

41 year old woman 145 lbs. 3 years post op breast lift with implants. A couple weeks ago I noticed what I first thought may be a pie or cyst on my scar under my left breast. It’s gotten bigger and isn’t a pimple and I don’t think it’s a cyst either. Seems to almost have a small amount of blood pooling in that area.. Worried now and plan to call the doctor. Any thoughts welcome because he is known to brush things off.

Dear C030426, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Your diabetes should be well controlled prior to any elective procedure. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more...

Dear BoobTour2020, breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed.
