Breast augmentation scar irritation/ pain (Photo)

November 8, 2015
Asked By:Jess Leigh Ashton in New Zealand, NZ

I got breast augmentation done approx one year ago and the incision placement is under my boobs. The corner closer to my arm on the right boob has always had a small bump which at the start was a bit [RS bleep] and you could see a small clear stitch sticking out which I trimmed thinking it may dissolve?? However a yr on there is still a small lump and anytime I sleep on that side it hurts and can become even sorer when wearing a bra. Any suggestions as to what might be the issue?
