Will breast reduction lumpiness even out? (Photo)

June 13, 2018
Asked By:cadb in Toronto, ON

I am 2.5 weeks post-op of an OHIP-covered breast reduction. My nurse removed about 80% of my staples (vertical incision and under breast) last Saturday and the rest (around the nipples) on Monday. I’m concerned that my right breast looks like it has a strange indentation under the nipple and looks lumpy compared to my left breast. Will this even out? Should I be concerned? I sent pics to my dr and he seems to say it’s healing fine, but I’m feeling very concerned.

Kenneth Hughes, MD says:

You are fortunate that the Victorian Order of Nurses is changing your dressings every few days.  The separations will likely heal and contract very well to produce a nice thin scar.  If there is a great deal of wound separation, this may still heal well, but a revision may be needed in the futu...
