I am 15 months post op from a breast reduction and dealing with a number of issues. Is any of this normal? 1. uneven nipples (weren’t like that before) 2. thick scarring (looks like some hypertrophy), in particular on the right breast nearest to my side it’s very raised and when I grab the scar it kind of hurts 3. indentation under left breast. The nurse told me to massage at my post op appointments and I did but it did not help. When I contract the muscle it’s extremely noticeable.
