I had my breast reduction five weeks ago. At week two I noticed the beginning of some splitting in the incisions. Now these wounds are completely open, no bleeding anymore and some brownish discharge still. I've been using wet gauze every day, but I am worried about how slowly they're healing. I am a non smoker. I am also worried about excessive scarring. Will I need a scar revision?
im nearly 5 weeks po. ive had this about a week. i thought it was the tape on my incisions so i have taken it off 3 days ago but doesnt seem to be subsiding. its weeping itchy red and annoying on both breasts. I have an appt to see my surgeon this week.
I am 5 weeks out of breast reduction and lift. Yesterday I noticed that my incision lines under my breast (the outer scars) have become very hard. The left breast, which has healed slower, is more firm, and it feels like a bit of a lump on one area of the incision. The right side also has firmness in that same area. I called my surgeons office and they said its likely scar tissue and suggested massaging with aquafor. Id like a second opinion on this. and if I should insist on being seen.
I am 4.5 weeks PO and have had good healing. All incisions are closed. I am on precautionary antibiotics for small area of trapped pus at an incision but feeling ok overall. No seeping or wound issues. When is it safe to resume yoga practice? It involves a lot of arm stretching and usw of pectoral strength so I'm a bit nervous. Thanks for your time.
I am 4 weeks PO and my surgeon has seen me weekly. As of last week I still had a floating scab on it. Now its open with white flesh looking stuff and I can see the stitch at the top. I emailed him a picture yesterday and he assured me it was fine. Im supposed to use neosporin twice a day on it and just wait for it to close. This seems like itll never close.
I had my surgery on April 2nd and it is not April 27th. After a week of recovery I woke up one morning with blood on my sports bra and an opening at the t zone incision on my left breast. I went to the surgeons on the second week and the nurse looked and said everything seems fine and its probably just delayed healing. Its now 4 weeks after surgery and its still bleeding and my breasts are still pretty sore and swollen. I included pictures of how much blood is getting on the gauze pads
