What is this bubble on my scar? (Photo)

December 27, 2016
Asked By:vemogrady in San Antonio, FL

I am 11 months post op. 430 saline sub-pec. I had a lot of trouble with the right infra incision healing and it required debridement 3 times, the last being July 27, 2016. All was well until today I felt an irritation along my incision line and notice my scar was bubbled out. I can feel the implant under the skin. What is going on?

My doctor has a size chart comparing Sientra implants to Mentor. Where can I find this?
Moneer Jaibaji, MD says:

The easiest way is to ask your doctor. Another option is check Mentor and Sientra websites. I don't think 695 implant is equal to mentor 800 in terms of shape or size. But your surgeon should assist you in choosing the right implant for you. It is very important that you have your goals...
