Pre-menopause or menopause post-op: How to deal with night sweats after OP ?

By nowornever2012 on 10 Oct 2012

Just wondering, I'm pre-menopause and dealing with the night sweats and it can get pretty wet around and under the boobs so how did you deal with that after OP, concerned about the scars staying wet as I will be getting full anchor lift with aug .......

must be more out there in the same situation I am and that had some concerns about the sweats before the OP , how did you deal with it, maybe its just not as big of a deal, but would like some feedback/tips on how do deal with the sweats after OP

I know it's not the same but I had a tummy tuck and lipo and the sweats really stepped up a gear for me post surgery as I think it set my system off kilter. It made no difference to my healing at all, but it was quite uncomfortable to be that sweaty and stuck in binders and compression garments. I think I nearly blew my Hubby away I had the fans on so high! Definitely ask your surgeon, but I am going back in January for a lift and implants and my surgeon knows and seems to have no issue or concerns regarding this. My bandages were changed daily though for the first week so maybe that might be something to keep in mind.

What a great question! (Aren't night sweats the worst?) You should ask your doctor about this one. I don't know how often the bandages get changed, but that would probably make a difference in your healing.
