nodule felt post breast reduction
by franpdil, Apr 11, 2007 12:00AM
I had breast reduction one month ago and today I felt a nodule above my left breast at about 2oclock.. it's an obvious nodule, and I don't have one on the left side...is this a side effect from the surgery? Has anyone had this problem? It doesn't hurt...should I go to the md?

A breast nodule would mean non-uniformly dense breast tissue or a lump like lesion.
Have you noticed any abnormal features on breast self examination like a breast lump, nipple discharge or skin changes?
This could be scar tissue, fat necrosis,etc. Have you followed up with your surgeon after the surgery?
It would be best to get a clinical review with your surgeon for a confirmed diagnosis.
These are managed with regular breast self examinations and periodic clinical breast examinations by your physician and 6 monthly or yearly mammograms and ultrasound.
Let us know if you have any other doubts and post us about what your doctor advises.
Keep us posted on how you are doing.
