What Are The Fluid Filled Lumps On My Surgical Scars?
I had breast reduction two years ago this February. I am 40 years old, 5'7 155lbs. When I feel my back: my rib cage a few inches lower than my arm pit where my scars end, I feel what seems to be cysts. I feel them on both sides of my body. They are lumps of fluid that are about two inches in length and they are not symmetrical to each other. Is it expected or somewhat common to accumulate fluid under a scar following this type of surgery?
