Im about two weeks in my recovery from a breast reduction, and I noticed that my left incision was leaking a tiny bit (the fluid was thin and yellow-ish and doesnt have any smell). After showering I noticed I had a small opening where my incisions meet, so I assume a scab must have fallen off before it was ready to and thats what caused the leaking. Right now I put a bandaid over the opening with some Neosporin to keep the area clean. Should I be doing anything else?
I am 7 days post op breast reduction I was discharged with just bandages. I am healing really well no bleeding or discharge. The seristrip came off my nipple and you can barely tell it was cut. Problem is I really don't want to wear a bra because it hurts my incisions are very sore under my breast. My bra fits but should I maybe buy something bigger? Lose fit?
I had my reduction in Monday, I am currently wearing a front closing bra, a breast binder and ace bandage per my doctor. I was told in a week or so I can take the breast binder off at night but needed to wear the bra and ace bandage for atleast a month. I will ask my doctor but since they are closed I was wondering why I had to bind them?
I woke up from surgery expecting to be in bandages or in a surgical bra, but it was neither. I had dressings and tape over the areas that were working on but for the most part I could see my whole chest. when I left the next day my PS said no bra, at all. Everything Im reading is saying that I need to be wearing a bra all the time.Why is this and is it going to hurt me in the long run? I have no stitched or anything just glue that was removed 5 days after surgery along with my drains.
Breast reduction surgery 5 weeks ago. Have small pencil eraser sized hole at the bottom of the anchor at the joining point. Doing wet to dry bandage for that. HOW EVER I'm on antibiotics for an infection on my left breast. The incision (closest to my arm pit at bottom anchor) is warm to the touch, and looks like a sunburn shade of red. Same breast as the hole.
Hi! I just had my surgery about 48 hours ago and just took my bandages off as directed by my doctor. However, I am having trouble bandaging the area as well as the doctor did it. It feels slightly loose and I am worried that I did not bandage the area correctly. How do you recommend bandaging the area? Thanks so much.
