8mpo has been smooth until last week! I have pain in my left breast and it is redIwent to see my PS last week and she put me on antibiotics (JIC, she doesnt think its an infection bc its not hot, I dont feel Ill etc) **she said I likely popped an internal stitch and sometimes it will take a while to heal** Im on day 5 on antibiotics. And I do have a lot less pain, but if Im super active during the day, my breast gets sore/swollen/red in PM. Wondering how long this will last.
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 had a breast reduction about 2 weeks.my breast have been feeling very uncomfortable and itchy theyre very red and warm to the touch. Also a section in my left breast is completely numb so are my nipples.i went in for my 1 week check up, my plastic surgeon didnt even see me, they had their assistant take me in and they said everything looks fine and that its normal for them to be like this. It doesnt really look normal to me, Im just worried that there could be an infection or something?
Whats going on here? (I see my surgeon in 2 days) Redness, two spots that look irritated. One has a tiny opening. Ive been healing so well- what a bummer. All my other incisions look calm and normal. Thoughts? No pain no fever no burning. One did leak like a tiny bit of a cream/beige color dot. Thats it tho. Could it be the silicone strips I just started last week??
I had a breast reduction two weeks ago today. My right side is healing beautifully, but my left side looks and feels incredibly strange. The vertical incision going down from my nipple is raised, and it looks as if the inside half of my left breast is drooping. The outside half of my left breast looks higher. It honestly looks like half of my breast is going f to fall right off. I also have redness on the outside half of my left breast that is hot to the touch. Help!
So about a months ago I got a breast reduction, and I had minimal pain along the way. Two and a half weeks in, I start developing dryness and redness. It doesnt hurt and isnt hot. Ive been putting mosturizer on it but I dont know if its the best thing to do so Ive come here! Please help me!!!
Infection worsened 2 weeks ago, and noticed redness around incision and pain had increased tremendously. An abscess had formed that busted open in the shower. Severe plasma leakage. My PS prescribed antibiotic for infection and said it just needed to continue to drain. A whole remains that has been draining steadily for 2 weeks. The pain comes and goes. How long is normal for it to drain? How long before it closes? Is all this pain normal? Should something else be done to aid with healing?
Im 21 days post op and one Brest has remained hard however it is also painful and very red and hot. Im not sure if the heat is because of the bra or is there something else going on. The other boob is soft with no pain or redness but Ive heard that redness and heat mean infection but Ive also heard its normal after only three weeks. Help please
I had a breast reduction on the 26 August and it was amazing! No complications and my recovery was going great until I returned home to New Zealand. After a week I noticed my lower breast on both sides were becoming red, hot to touch, and more discomfort/pain than previous days. I went to a dr and was put on antibiotics and 4 days later no change. I did have drains in both sides for three days after the surgery and gently massage as directed. Also still wearing the provided bras day and night.
