The reason I did it was that my breast were sagging to low. I am just worried about this recovery period and getting these wounds closed up.

I have two openings, one on each breast. I am in my 4th week after breast lift surgery. My question is what to do with these openings? Leave them alone? try to close them with a tape and neosporin? thank you for your response!
Great review?

Hi Dallaslove, My friend had a similar situation a few years back! It was traumatic to say the least. She wants to go for corrective surgery as she as horrible scars. What was the final diagnosis stitch absess? And, how did you resolve the issue.

Lady, get real, this Dr. did not complete his job. You need to demand he complete his work! This is totally unaccepatable

I do not think any Dr. will be replying your post due liability. Go to the surgeon and he should be directing you what to do.

yes, please go back to the surgeon.

I would definately not leave it I would either contact the surgeon who originally performed the surgery or seek a second opinion straight away.

Hi Dallaslove,

I would suggest that you contact the surgeon who performed your breast lift.

He/she should follow-up with you to treat any post-op problems like this.  You definitely shouldn't have to try to patch yourself up alone!

Hope you're feeling better soon and good luck with your recovery.
