Under boob skin sticking

3 weeks post. lollipop incision. Not wearing any tape. Below my breast near the incision I have what appears as skin that’s sticking together. I gently lift to wash and dry but in the fold I notice this. It does not hurt but I’m scared to pull it apart.

My second question is my nipples. It looks like one is wider than the other. I’m just wondering if the nipple also changes as it’s healing.

Procedure: Breast Reduction
Location: Nutley, NJ

As far as what you are calling “sticking skin”, it appears that you have glue in your incisions. Confirm that with your surgeon and follow his instructions for removal. The nipple/areolas will change as swelling goes away.

Your nipple position and size is just fine. There is always a little difference between sides before and after surgery. I do not see much difference and see an excellent early result. You may have a little serum ooze from the wound causing what you describe. This is not unusual. These questions you should ask to your surgeon and follow the advice.

No woman has two identical breasts. I doubt you did before surgery. Perfect symmetry does not exist in nature. Your early result looks very good.
