Had a lunpectomy, re excision and a unilateral flat mastectomy last week. I have two surgical sites and the one from the first two is puckering and changed since my mastectomy. I have swelling too.

Maybe you could get some advice re scar management which may help the puckering. I live regionally too and am happy to travel the 70km one way to see this OT.
I hope you get some good treatment options. My surgeon said most patients have a tidy up surgery down the track but after 3 surgeries in 7 weeks, Im not keen atm.
All the best 🫂
