2 weeks post op from Breast Reduction, and I possibly popped(?) an internal stitch, and my surgeon is on holidays!

I was trying a dress on today at a store, and while attempting to take the dress off over my head, I felt a slight pop in my left breast. There has been a little bit of pain but nothing serious, I am more so worried and I can't see my surgeon until January 5th! No signs of bleeding, will I be okay until then or should I go to a clinic or emerg?

These are actually inflamed veins called Mondor's disease.  These will improve with time, massage and advil.

Thank you for the question and YES a fibroadenoma should be able to be removed during a reduction by someone skilled enough to alter his technique to encompass the mass.  So see some experts in the field and chose your surgeon wisely.Dr. Corbin

If you have has aspirations and there is no further fluid to remove then it would be about the right time to start massaging this. I would probably ultrasound the area to look at the area just to confirm the consistency but it is likely at this point that this would be managed conservatively....
