I am now almost four months past my breast reduction surgery and I still am having problems. I have a rash...or at least it looks like a rash....rough and red over one side of the scar. It is not that the scar is red....but the skin around it. I also seem to be constantly getting blisters around the scar area. Sometimes they are blood blisters and other times just water blisters. My family dr figures that I have a yeast infection...so he put me on a cortisone cream and antibiotic cream.

Answer: Is it normal to get blisters and rash after breast reduction?
Almost any surgery which is conducted under general anesthesia can result in post-op ileus, or alteration in the normal function of the gastrointestinal tract. How long was your procedure? How long did you take post-op pain pills? What type pain pills were prescribed? What activity...
You may have had a small stitch abscess. If a permanent suture was placed, and it is now exposed, you probably need the suture to be removed. This may cause the areola to expand which may eventually need a revision. Best to be seen in person to be sure.
