Painful areola 6 months after breast lift. Is this related or not? (Photo)

Yes, that area is likely either a small cyst or a suture granuloma. Either is very common in surgeries with large incisions, such as a breast lift, breast reduction, or abdominoplasty. I would see your treating physician or a board certified plastic surgeon. A steroid shot or possibly a small excision procedure could likely fix this problem.

The remaining portion of your incision looks excellent, but this bump is not normal. Most likely it’s a small cyst or the knot from a stitch, but it should be addressed and your plastic surgeon should be made aware of it so that they can treat it.
