Asked By:chelsea1029 in Michigan, ND

I have horrible sjin breakdown after a lift. I am almost 5 weeks out. Day 8 grew klebsiella and enterococcus, took 2 weeks of Bactrim. Third week grew out Pseudomonas. My Dr said they are just superficial wounds and only Silvadene is needed. I am so worried. He will do a staged exc of scar 6-12mos out. 300cc Silicone. Afebfril lower half of breast somewhat red, but not swollen or tender. Any feedback on how to heal faster? wondering if HBO might help. Worried about implant integrity
