Reconstruction concerns years on

I had a diep flap failed reconstruction in 2012 it's taken years to get a better surgeon to reconstruct and finally a year ago I completed full recon and nipple recon.... over the last few days my reconstructed breast has been feeling sore but thought nothing of it.. as I was undressing for a shower today I noticed the breast had a very inflamed area across the breast as if I had torn a piece of sticky tape off quickly.. also under the nipple I had a big blister full of yellow liquid.. can anyone help me with what I am experiencing.. the breast feels tender and has an uncomfortable heavy feeling.

  • Hello Karen-anne

    I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing some problems with your reconstructed breast. If you've not already done so then please do get in touch with your GP or the breast care team if you are still in touch with them. They will be best placed to get you checked over. 

    I do hope that things settle for you soon. 

    Best wishes,
