I'm a month post op and my incisions looked nice after first but now in some spots they look infected and spew thr sutures. My surgeon gave me a kit with tweezers to dig the sutures out and microbial gauze to bandaid over them. My question is, this has only happened on the right breast, should I be expecting for it to be rejected on all the incisions?

Thank you for your question. Removing skin at the lower pole along the breast crease can help lower the nipple position and tighten the lower pole. Be sure to consult with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.
Thank you for your question and posting appropriate pictures. He seem to be a good candidate for breast reduction. In this procedure, your breasts would be fuller on the top but overall smaller and uplifted. You would need a consultation for precise recommendations.
Involve removing the nipple completely and then grafting it to the mound. You will lose sensation with certainty but its surprising how often some sensation can be recovered with healing. So the answer is yes, you can get it back but its unlikely to be as it was before your procedure.
