Swelling and redness on left breast still present after 1 year

I'm going to the doctor tomorrow to evaluate why my left breast gets red, irritated, painful and swollen every month for now going on one year. Needless to say I'm not happy about this. I can't understand what's going on and feel like we are shooting in the dark. I'm going to suggest an MRI and maybe that will tell us whats going on. I've been depressed about this. The first redo went great, but the lollipop reduction, not so well. I guess I should have left things alone.

The inflammation and redness is coming from the permanent internal sutures located around the nipple. I am getting them removed tomorrow and hopefully that will stop these monthly episodes of inflammation, redness and pain! Ultrasound showed inflammation and fluid along the internal suture line and recommended the black sutures be removed.

Unfortunately I got an infection in my left boob and it required antibiotics. Finally its getting better. My husband thinks it came from a blocked mammory gland or a stich. Finally its getting better. I'm not 100% happy with my results and neither is my husband, but I'll give it more time. Gained 13 lbs since surgery. No more procrastinating I have to work out.
