Its been two months since my breast reduction surgery and I wanted to know the best recommendations for treating my scars. I ordered ScarAway brand silicone patches but they got lost in the mail. I didnt wan to reorder from the same store so I thought Id ask for alternative and better options while Im at it. Please and thank you
I really need some help, I've recently had a breast reduction I'm 5 days post op and noticed this blister like wound near my t zone incision and my surgeons office is closed today and tomorrow. This blister has been secreting red and orange like blood with virtually no pain but I'm worried it looks like it's gotten bigger. could it be the bra that I'm wearing is too tight? Should l be applying a cream of some type? So far I've been placing gauze in my bra on the wound.
I have T junction skin breakdown. I am super nervous I was an out of town patient. The doctor says to keep it clean and put gauze on it and let it dry out to heal. He called it mechanical debridement. Should I be putting a wound care cream on it? I am almost 4 weeks post op and I just want it gone.
I had a blood blister right after surgery. Four weeks post op this is what my breast looks like. My doctor is giving me a cream to remove the remaining scab and said will take 4 to 6 weeks to heal. This one seems very deep and I'm concerned looking for another opinion.
I'm a 34 DDD 5'8 158 lbs 27.5 cm from collar bone to nipple I have wanted smaller breasts since I was 16. I have all the same problems/symptoms as all the women on here. I have done chiro, PT, creams, TENS, massages, pain meds, holistic treatments. Between my shoulders and neck and all upper back always feels like it has rocks in it. I have not had a moment in the last 7 years that I haven't been in pain. I think there's easily 1lb in each one that can go. What say ye?
I am 4 weeks post op from breast reduction surgery. Week 1 was just stitches, week 2 liquid bandaid and steri strips, week 3 Bio Oil... The recommended Bio Oil caused issues, after 5 days I started itching, getting red, I could see pockets of fluid forming under my skin. I started having sores open up, and I've been dealing with the ever since. I am allergic to the Bio Oil it has the same ingredients as Baby Oil (mineral oil). So what can I use or should I wait till the wounds heal?
I am 5 days post-op, following my lipo/lift BR. Yesterday, I started having a reaction to the adhesive used in conjunction with the steristrips. My nurse advised to remove the steristrips, wash the area thoroughly, apply hydrocortisone cream and take an antihistamine. Did all that, but I'm also experiencing itching throughout the whole breast and can only describe it as being internal. There's no new irritation, so is this itching a side effect from the lipo? If so, how long does this last?
I am currently 4.5 weeks post-op. I have had ongoing issues with the T zone incision on my left breast (I'm left handed). My family doc gave me Fuciden cream 2% when I was 2.5 wks post-op, I applied the cream for 5 days, it seemed to clear up, so I put Mepitac tape on the area to reduce pulling. Now the area has become a problem again. I have just applied the cream and covered with gauze. Can you please advise if I should see a doctor or continue to monitor. Thank you in advance.
I had a breast reduction 4 weeks ago. This breast was very swollen so my surgeon performed a second surgery to drain the old blood. I am 1 week post op from the second surgery. The right breast has super thin, clean scars but the left breast incision sites look really bad, thick and the spotting is bright red. The surgeon prescribed me silver sulfadiazine cream to apply to help with healing. Should I be worried?
