I hope you can advise me. I had a bi-lateral mastectomy on November 21, 2019. The surgeon did a terrible job. He left extra skin with flaps and the middle is bunched together very discolored. It's bad enough I needed to lose my breast but this on top of it is horrible.what kind of doctor should I see to try and fix this mess I livevwith.

My skin was a little discolored, but not bunched together.  Have you talked to your doctor to see what you can do?  After my bilateral I experienced some tightness around the incision and I do have some flaps around my back side and its puffy under my right armpit.  I asked the doctor about the puffyness under my arm and the doctor stated he had to tuck the extra and for the flab or flaps it was extra skin leaving the door open for reconstruction.  Ihad very large, large, breast before my surgery, however, I had planned on getting a breast reduction anyway.  So far I have gotten use to the discomfort and tightness.  For the tightness after my surgery and radiation, I stretch every day when I get up, when I use the restroom, when I am looking at tv or just sitting and it really helped.  I had therapy twice, but discontinued because I could do that at home and save money.  Remember before you even try the stretches or anything please talk to your doctor because everybody  is different. My surgery was done in 2018.
