I had a mommy makeover March 26,2015 (7 weeks ago today) this included lift (no implant).About four weeks post-op the tape was taken off and I had a large scab under my right breast. My doctor had me put Neosporin on and keep covered. That soon melted scab and created open wound it is now 3 weeks of wound care (wash with bar soap,Neosporin and woundpad) and not much has changed. No oozing, pain, heat or smells. Just very sensitive breasts. Is something wrong with me? Why am I healing so slow?
