Is it normal to get blisters and rash after breast reduction?

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.

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...

MUST be followed up with your surgeon.  But in general, if your breasts are warm to touch, you should be okay.

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.
