I encourage you to visit with your primary care physician or who you see for your breast health for an evaluation.  It is difficult to say if this is related to your breast reduction but regardless needs to be assessed by a physician.

Hello there,
By your details and photo it appears like a skin related issue, probably a small infection. It can be dealt with simple measures like skin ointment. However to be on safe side and rule out major issues, consult your olastic surgeon. Hope this helps.

Dear Lisaally338,
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 or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Appears as a suture abscess that spontaneously drained. you need to see a surgeon asap to examine and maybe open area under local anesthesia. Or come to Florida for treatment.

Hi and welcome to our forum!From your history, it appears that you developed an abscess of your breast which spontaneously drained to the skin surface. It may be totally unrelated to your breast surgery of 15 years ago. If there is any residual persisting firmness or drainage, seek evaluation by your family physician.Best wishes...
