Answer: Likely a suture Likely a suture or a scar lump. I would not be concerned at 2 weeks unless it's a red and tender lump which would suggest a small infection.

Answer: Post Transaxillary Breast Augmentation, Lump In Armpit After 2 Weeks - Should I Be Concerned? Transaxillary breast augmentations in the first month after surgery may cause various lumps in the armpit. In general, these are benign and should not cause any long term problems. In my experience, these lumps could be:1. A subcutaneous suture in the suture line that has not yet dissolved2. A collection of blood and fat that will resorb3. A lymph node which is swollen secondary to the surgery4. Any tissue in the armpit that was injured during surgery and is now in the inflammatory stageAt this point, it would be appropriate to call your Board Certified plastic surgeon to get their take on your concerns.

Answer: There is a lump in my right armpit on the incision. Is it scar tissue and will it go away? Some small irregularities and lumps can be normal and part of the healing process. If however the lump is different than the rest and painful it may be secondary to a small collection of blood or possibly an infection around a deeper stitch. You should be examined by your surgeon to determine whether or not the lump is out of the ordinary. It is a collection of blood or a localized stitch infection drainage may be all that is necessary. Good luck
