Is It Normal for Breast to Be a Little Hard Near the Side of the Incision Site?

    Hardness around incision sites may be normal and may be developing scar tissue, which will soften over time.  A physical exam can usually rule out significant fluid collection or fat necrosis.

Congratulations on having undergone the breast reduction procedure. What you are describing does not seem too concerning;  it is likely that the firmness you are feeling is related to scar tissue and/or swelling/inflammation around the surgical site or lipo him suctioned areas.

 I would suggest that you continue to follow-up with your plastic surgeon. More than likely, you'll be very pleased with the long-term outcome of the procedure performed.

 Best wishes

Scar formation starts to set in weeks after the procedure not before. This is a normal part of the healing process. These areas may stay hard for months before they begin to soften. Recovery from your breast reduction is a process and issues that you have asked about will take up to 6 months after surgery to resolve.
