Ripped Scar Tissue After Breast Surgery?

Question

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?

Otto Joseph Placik, MD · Answer

At twenty-two days it is most likely you broke a dissolving suture but it could be something more serious and you should see your surgeon for an evaluation.

Ryan Neinstein, MD, FRCSC · Answer

Hard to know whats going on, likely its just a muscle pain and that you have not actually done anything bad to your implants. Give it some time than review with your surgeon

Trevor M. Born, MD · Answer

Call your Plastic Surgeon and ask to see them. This will give you peace of mind.
