Do necrotic tissue lumps need to be removed after so long?

November 8, 2021
Asked By:txags85 in San Antonio, Texas

I had a breast reduction 6 years ago, with would healing complications. I have multiple large lumps, about the size of a golf ball, in my right breast. They are uncomfortable and sometimes feel like they move, but have not improved in the 6 years since my surgery. Is it normal for this to not get better? And should I look into having them removed?
