I had a small amount of hypertrophic scarring on my right breast where I had an inframammary ba. I first had a minor revision and the hypertrophic scar returned. So I then, began kenalog injections. I had 2. When my doctor checked it again, he said it had flattened and we should not continue. I have severe discoloration that extends beyond the original scar. He said it will go away with time, as my skin is still reacting to the steroid. Is this true? Its been about 3 weeks since last injection.

It is probably a stitch abscess, but you will need to be evaluated in person. So make an appointment to see your surgeon as soon as possible. Best, Dr. Nazarian
To be safe I would refrain from vigorous exercise for 6 weeks. Milder exercise can resume in the first several weeks. But I would defer to your plastic surgeon and customize your restrictions according to how you heal
Obviously, without photos or a personal examination, I can only offer general information. If your breasts are asymmetrical in size and/or shape, then that means that you have more or less breast glandular tissue on each side, and that the breast tissue is distributed in abnormal positions...
