I had a breast reduction done back in december and am pleased with the results other than one of my breasts is still open at the inverse T. It is still draining and bleeds fairly easily.
I have been using bactroban cream on the site for several weeks. My PS believes it may be fat necrosis. Just curious how long these types of things could take to heal, and if there are any other options to try and get the wound to heal quicker.
It is healing but EVER so slowly!
If you developed fat necrosis after a breast reduction (devitalized tissue) which is still present in your breast, then it may take months for your body to metabolize the tissue and heal the area. If there is a significant area, then you may need another minor operation to debride the tissue or drain the area. This is best evaluated by your surgeon. Good luck.
Breakdown of the incision especialy at the "T" is fairly common after breast reduction surgery. When they drain, it may take a few weeks to possibly a few months to completely heal. This had to be followed carefully by your doctor.
