Ripped Scar Tissue After Breast Surgery?

June 3, 2010
Asked By:bluestone in hawaii

22 days P Op. Threw a rock and I felt something rip. My breast moves more and feels heavy. No swelling just some pain and constant sensation. What should I do? Called the PS, he said should heal, but I'm very scared. How long will it take to heal, could this lead to more complications?
