A few days after the surgery my nurse noticed some bruising at my sides. There were very visible dark marks on my skin (see pictures). Slowly one side began to become a bruise and then a scab and peeled off. The other side kept getting worse and became a deep wound. My surgeon says it was the compression garment pinching my skin. Its now a very deep wound so I'm hoping for advice on how to keep scarring to a min. As I'm sure there will be visible scar tissue
My left nipple died back in February after an FTM mastectomy. Another patient of my surgeon lost his nipple this week with the same procedure. We both had to do revisions because the doctor tried to use a periareolar technique and our breasts were medium, so there was a lot of skin and fat after the first surgery. I remember when my nipple died, he said it was a common thing and I would like to know: What is the real percentage of nipple necrosis?
I have silicone breast implants and will be doing 30-40 hyperbaric treatments for soft tissue radio necrosis. Ok to treat? Can I be treated at 2ATA for 90 mins per day 5 days a week in a mono place O2 pressurized HBO2 chamber with silicone breast implants?
Last year, 2016, Ive had several episodes of acute pancreatitis due to a genetic mutation causing me to have high triglycerides. I now have sterile necrosis as a result. Assuming that my triglycerides are kept under control via medication my dr said I shouldn't be at risk since I no longer drink alcohol or have gallstones. Does this make me automatically ineligible for breast augmentation? If not, is there a certain period of time I should wait before it is deemed safe for me to do? Thank you.
Currently treating it with aquaphor and patience. PS said to give it time and that drainage/debridement isn't necessary. I've seen progress in the last week (posted a pic for some reference) but how long before something like this takes to heal fully and for pigment to return? I am in touch with my PS but just wanted to hear what you all think. Thank you for your time.
I have a hole under both breasts. Both are leaking yellow thick puss. Could my implants be exposed? necrosis? I'm 4 weeks post op. I'm treating it 2x daily with SSD and applying gauze. Breasts are sore and the openings hurt. Please help! Thank you in advance!
I am confused that my fiances whole breasts have taken on a green colouration. The doctors believed that she had asked for her nipples to be green! and that chemical spread and started to kill the skin of the whole breast. This is certainly not true, her nipples were brown. Can the nipple pigment spread like this, would it change colour and would this kill breast skin? Or could this only be due to her hypovolemia and thinned breast skin, green indicating the earliest stage of necrosis?
My Scar Round my Nipple Has a Hole with a Plastic Stitch Coming from It Its Weeping and There is Bits of Blood Coming from It. im 2 and half months post surgery any help would be much appreciated i had the surgery done abroad so i cant just go see my surgeon iv posted pics also. thank you in advance im so scared of infection or necrosis etc.
I have breast augmentation done 77 days ago now and about a week ago I discovered a lump on my left breast. I've had an ultrasound done and they think fat necrosis could be one of the possible options. My question is, when does fat necrosis usually show up after surgery? Is it possible for it to show up a few months later? And last but not least, if it is Fat necrosis...how would I proceed? Does it just go away or is this something my surgeon will have to remove?
