Hello, I had a horrible experience with my surgeon. I went to me 4 months visit and I had a concern about what I think its my old areola. My doctor denied that and he said its just scarring and I should use a scar cream. Please can I get some advice.
I am 15 weeks post op and am wondering how long dissolvable staples and stitches take to actually dissolve. I saw my consultant this week who told me they will dissolve eventually but Im surprised I can still see them at this stage, is this normal? I massage my scars twice a day and they look ok but the bumps that are visible all along the horizontal scar lines are making me worry, shouldnt they be gone by now?
I am 4 months post op from breast reduction surgery. I feel like my wound is just getting bigger and bigger. My surgeon is trying everything from xeroform with cordizone. Is there anyway to minimize this wound?
Hello Im 23 years old I have recently got a breast reduction in October 15 2018 but my left boobs just keep peeling Im 4month post op and its still not heeling it get really dry and leaks little pus around the nipple. I did have some issues heeling I had got an infection but I was given antibiotics and I was rejecting stitches does that have anything to do with it and why its taking so long to heel .
In September, 4 mos after a breast reduction/lift in May, I felt a hard quarter sized lump, in the bottom left side of my left breast. It is approximately 2 inches up from the bottom incision, & 1 inch to the side of the middle incision. No pain involved. My surgeon sent me immediately for a mammogram & ultra sound. The Radiologist said this was benign, & suggests repeating the 2 tests in February (6 mos). Is this condition typical?
I had a breast reduction 4 months ago, going from a 34F to 34C. I am thrilled with them when I am wearing clothes and noticeable difference in weight, however I am very unhappy with the shape of them as they are lumpy at the sides and base. I had the dog ear removal a month ago but it has not really improved the shape. My surgeon seems happy with the results and does not need to see me again I don't know whether I am being unrealistic as it was a big reduction. Any advice?
I had a stitch abscess here at 2 months post op. I am now almost 4 months post op and I am not liking the way it looks. It looks bruised and indented. I have an appointment with my surgeon in 2 weeks but would like to have other opinions.

I'm 4 months post op from a breast reduction. I had a 6 and 1/2 hour surgery to reduce my L breasts to DD breasts. After a month I pointed out to my surgeon a large lump at the top of my right breast, about an inch long and a half inch wide. He says it is fat necrosis but didn't say if there was anything to be done. So now that its been 4 months and it still there. It bothers me... Is there anything I can do?
