Scar

Hello

I had an explant plus lift 3 weeks ago and I noticed this on the scar under the crease. I posted a picture and circled the area. I was wondering what this is?

Procedure: Breast Lift
Location: kissimmee, FL

That appears to be an area of inflammation related to an absorbable suture. Please return to your surgeon.

Thank you for sharing your question. This is best evaluated in person by your surgeon as it could be gathered skin from the way the incision was closed or a possible suture-related infection.
