What is this bubble on my scar? (Photo)

Question

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?

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

I would suggest going back to your surgeon and letting him check your scar. You may be developing a thick scar, or may have scar tissue around retained stitches.

It appears that the "bubble' on your scar may be a suture reaction, granuloma. Best to check back with your surgeon
