For a while after surgery the nipple was tonal and healing like the left one but about 2 months ago it began to get really dry. I was apply shea butter for extra moisture but that doesn't work. I called my nurse and she said to apply Neosporin but that hasn't did much either.
Hi I am 10 days post Op after breast reduction and after 5 days my nipple started to go a kind of black colour and looked like dried blood, today after I showered the skin started to peel from my nipple revealing pink tissue, my surgeon said this is normal but Im just hoping I can get a second opinion as I am so worried that Im going to lose my nipple
I just started putting vaseline on the scar and it seem like the vaseline is making them peel more. Now i have red wounds around the areola. My surgeon said its normal but I feel like I wont have a nipple after all of this.
I had a breast reduction done about 2 weeks ago. I was checking my breast today and noticed the skin around the incision is peeling off and showing some pink. I called the hospital and sent them this picture. The nurse said it looks okay because she doesn't see any infection. Should I be worried? Or can it just be because of the steri strip?
Hello Im 23 years old I have recently got a breast reduction in October 15 2018 but my left boobs just keep peeling Im 4month post op and its still not heeling it get really dry and leaks little pus around the nipple. I did have some issues heeling I had got an infection but I was given antibiotics and I was rejecting stitches does that have anything to do with it and why its taking so long to heel .
My PS said I lost some blood flow on my right nipple. I have some browning of the nipple and it is peeling. Just curious as to what others think about my recovery. I'm 3 weeks post op. I have been using Aquaphor. Will I still have a normal nipple once it is healed? Any suggestions? Also, should the skin on the side look so mangled?
3.5 weeks post BR. I have recently noticed over the last day or two my skin being quite dry and flaking in certain areas of my breasts. Of most concern near the vertical incision lines as they now appear wider to me and a lot redder/pinker. I have thin skin and am prone to eczema. I am currently using vitamin e oil and silicone gel twice a day for scar management.. I also had skin irritation from tape which seems to be ok now. Should I be concerned about this or just part of the healing process?
I am 3 weeks post op B.R. At my 1 week appt the nurse took my tape off & removed skin from the right breast. she said it was superficial and would heal in time. When I went in for my 2 weeks appt more skin came off. I have appt in 3 weeks to remove my stitches but I decided to remove the tape myself as to let the skin heal on it on, but now it's turning a weird color!! Is this normal at my stage in recovery??? Also I have large bulges on both sides of my breast.... am I healing properly.
I am 2 weeks post op breast reduction with free nipple graft. Had 6lbs removed. Everything seemed to be going smooth after removing the bolsters 7 days post op. Week two I started losing skin on the nipple it began coming off little by little with each change of dressing. Some skin coming off around edges of areola as well. I know it is still extremely early. Should I be concerned? Is it a sign that the nipple graft is failing?
