I had my surgery 2 weeks ago and sutures taken out a week ago and now have dissolvable. I felt a bump that is tender to touch under one suture area where the arrow is pointing and noticed some irritation around the incision sites. Is this a suture abscess or a part of healing ? I contacted the on call nurse and sent a photo and she basically said to eye it and call if it gets worse. I plan to call the office Monday if it's not better. I also was applying neosporin which they told me to stop.
I have just found I have abscess and infection in gum / root canal which needs antibiotics to treat but am booked in for Breast augmentation in two days . I saw two dentists who both said wait until post surgery to treat infection, my concern is that I haven't let consultant know yet ( but have left a message to discuss ) I am concerned he may postpone surgery and advise I treat infection firsts although I am not in any pain etc ... He is giving me a weeks course of anti biotics post surgery.
I talked to my doctor on the phone today and she explained what she thought was going on. She didn't see me but She said my body is trying to push the sutures out and gave me instruction on how to care for the wound. But, I've been reading other comments about this and many doctors say that the suture needs to be removed in order to heal. My doctor didn't mention anything About removing it. Does it really look like a suture abscess? How can I prevent these wounds? Will it cause worse scarring?
Does this look like necrosis, stitch abscess, or wound dehiscence? I am worried something is wrong. I am 4 weeks post op. At my 2 week checkup, PS said it was peeling from where the implant rubbed and to use antibiotic ointment 2x daily. I have done that but it looks like it is getting worse. I had HP smooth silicone, 425cc, unders.
Ok so last week I told my PS I had breast milk leaking from my nipple and out of where I had my stitches on my right nipple only. They called me in to make sure it wasn't puss and I was in fact just leaking breast milk. I had a baby 9 months ago and did not breast feed and my PS told me no more massaging until further notice. My concern is my small wound where the stitch was. Its not healed yet and I feel like my leaking milk is causing it not to close. Any suggestions for treatment in meantime?
Breast augmentation 7 weeks post op. left breast was leaking seroma from a pin hole in incision. After leakage stopped I had suture abscess, doctor removed a peace of suture that was poking out. Right breast is bit reddish but no complications.
