Scar tissue

MB01
Offline

Hi I had a lumpectomy 3 weeks ago scar healed well on breast and underarm  but feels very lumpy around the scar I'm thinking it's scar tissue has anyone else had this ? I've just started to apply bio-oil to see if it helps I'm seeing the surgeon next week for results of lumpectomy so hopefully he'll know if it's normal .

thanks Marie x

    Hi MB01, I had a lumpectomy back in February and it’s still tender around the scar and bumpy under the skin.  When I spoke to my surgeon I was told can take up to 12 months to settle and may always feel like that. Just my new normal now I guess. Glad your healing well, another step of this journey out the way. Nicky xx
