I had a breast reduction last year in March. My incisions never healed correctly now my scars look horrible. I've tried steroids shots but it didn't work. So now I'm thinking about getting them cut off. However I'm worried that they will return. Any advice?
I am now 16 days post op and my symptoms started 11 days out. I'm allergic to adhesives. I was given internal sutures and steri strips. The skin turned very raw, red, itchy on day 11 all around the incisions. I had blood work done to rule out infection. The doctors say it's an allergic reaction but they don't know to what. Zyrtec, Benadryl, ice, and prescription steroid cream hasn't worked. What next?
Hi Everyone. Can anyone tell me if this dent will go away? 8 wks post breast reduction. Left breast has dent on stitch site and is very hard when I touch it compared to the rt. Went to dr yesterday & he injected steroid shot into that area. Really upset because my breast looks deformed. Is this normal? Are the stitches too tight? Is this is common & is there a solution? Never noticed that lt was bigger than rt but dr said it was. Now I notice right is bigger than left. So depressed about this :(
My surgery was on 15 April 2016 . I am in pain and I need advise. I have tried the scar gel as advised without result. My surgeon says he will try steroids injections but advised it will be painful and I should think about it before I go back to him. Is it me or did the surgeon mess up. I cant show my clevage because of the scars and I am down from 36JJ to 36C. My tummy is so visible people ask if I am pregnant or what happened to my lovely figure. I am so sad.
My doctor suggestions use mederma scarring gel which did nothing, then we tried steroid injection it did flatten the raised skin from aeorla thats it, I still have raised skin on left and right side where the incisions were cut, I have been to 3 different doctos amd they want to do surgery but I want to know what can I do without surgery? Is it to late because it is been 15 years?
I am five days post op for BR. I started getting the rash two days post op. I saw PS 3 days post op to have drains removed but he said I was still draining too much. He saw rash told me to stop taking antibiotic, and Lovenox injections. He gave me a script for steroids. I am taking steriods and Benedryl, still looks pretty bad. I'm not sure if it's from antibiotics, Betadine, surgical tape, elastic in bra. I sure would like to know so this doesn't happen again.
