Why do I feel something poking me inside my breast right beneath my scar?

Thank you for your question. 

The surgeon who performed your surgery would be your best source of information  since he/she knows exactly what was, Generally speaking, a lot of us use long absorbing deep sutures so it is certainly plausible, that even at 8 weeks, this could be a palpable suture or some scar tissue that has developed around it. Often scar tissue can irritate nerves and cause some pain. 

Scar management, including massage and silicone based treatment, usually is enough to soften the scar tissue, dissolve any remaining sutures, and improve your discomfort in that region.

Dear trene83,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

Hello and thank you for your excellent question. Based on your description, you may have a suture under your skin that is producing your symptoms. Typically, these sutures will dissolve over time, and can improve with conservative treatments (like gentle massage).  However, it is impossible to make an accurate assessment without seeing you in person. If you are concerned, I suggest that you follow up in person with your plastic surgeon. Good luck!
Best,
