Can scar tissue/suture granuloma form internally under the nipple after a breast reduction with new implants?

September 12, 2022

It feels like an inch sized bundle of scar tissue underneath my nipple where the lollipop sutures were. Is it possible that a stitch that never dissolved formed scar tissue around it?
