it's been like 2 years since my top surgery and this is literally the first I'm hearing of massaging scar tissue lumps hello?
YEAH i dont exactly know what causes them, but if you had a larger chest prior to the surgery and also got lipo during ur top surgery it can heighten the chances of internal scar tissue! bc theres just More that has to be removed so the physical trauma is a bit larger ig? i believe this happens after any major surgery in a relatively fatty area of the body, its just how fat Heals i gues !
getting rid of any hardness after top surgery (whether it be scar tissue, hematoma or calcified seroma) usually involves a TON of massaging to help break down whatever it is and have it reabsorbed into the body.
dont get me started on the popping and the squelching sounds that can happen bc of these (i actually got a recording of it to send to my surgeon bc i was Scared LMAO). its kinda nasty feeling but relatively temporary and completely normal. im also only 3 months post op so im still healing:) what matters is my chest Looks good and i feel good n happy! aside from scar tissue pain,,,
#frank.txt#its partially why surgeons usually direct you to massage ur scars regularly once theyre healed! also massaging around the chest is good too#i think this only rlly happens with double incision / fishmouth / etc surgery procedures BUT im sure it can happen w periareolar as well?#there are SO many things abt the top surgery healing process that were admittedly strange or unexpected#but ANY large surgery has weird healing moments like this so i was Somewhat prepared for that:')#top surgery
