Hello @Jubilant718997 Thank you for your question and showing your pictures. I recommend to perform an ultrasound scan of the area, it is important to know what is involved in order to define what type of treatment should be given to improve the condition. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Dear Jubilant718997,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

I suggest you follow up with the surgeon who did the procedure. He or she should be able to take care of you and get this resolved.

Your surgeon is responsible for the upcome of your procedure so that’s the right person to help you with this.

I don’t think any of us can give you an accurate assessment and we certainly can’t treat it for you.
Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD
