Breast lift incision separation; is it infected? (photos)

January 12, 2016
Asked By:lilyrey in Tx

I had a complex breast lift with reaugmentation a little over 2 weeks ago. On my 2 week follow up it was discovered that the incision separated on the left breast. My PS advised me to do twice a day wound care dressing changes cleansing with Mycrocin spray and Silvasorb gel. I'm not sure if it's working as I think the wound looks bigger now. Can you please look at my pics and tell me if its getting better or worse. Is it infected. I do have pain more of a burning sensation. Thank you in advanced.
