How can I help this wound under my breast heal? (Photo)

This area that you are describing is the most vulnerable for wound breakdown after a breast reduction. From the photo, this small wound appears healthy with no signs of infection. It may take several weeks to months for this wound to completely heal. Follow the wound care instructions of your surgeon and let the office know if you feel that healing becomes stagnant as they may recommend changing up your care at that point. Watch this area for redness or drainage as these signs can indicate infection. Continue to be patient as this area heals, and you will begin to notice it getting smaller!

Hello and thank you for your question.
Keep the area clean and dry. It will take time to heal. Keep in touch with your surgeon for his/her instructions. Best wishes.

Hello, and thank you for your question. (Keep in mind that an in-person consultation is necessary for the best advice.) I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you have had after surgery. Wound healing complications are not uncommon after breast reduction surgery. There are many risk factors for wound healing complications; not knowing your history makes it difficult to identify your risk factors. Local wound care is the treatment. You should follow up closely with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!
