Redness and drooping 2 weeks post-op breast reduction. Advice?

Question

I had a breast reduction two weeks ago today. My right side is healing beautifully, but my left side looks and feels incredibly strange. The vertical incision going down from my nipple is raised, and it looks as if the inside half of my left breast is drooping. The outside half of my left breast looks higher. It honestly looks like half of my breast is going f to fall right off. I also have redness on the outside half of my left breast that is hot to the touch. Help!

Without photographs it’s hard to give you much more advice then to call your surgeon tomorrow and see if you can be examined and voice your concerns.

Without a photo it is hard to tell what’s going on. If one side is very different than another, I recommend following up with your surgeon so he/she can take a look.All the best!Dr. BlaggAustin TX

Dear sarahbeth429,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD
