Not Sure
Spent: $4,500 in Dallas, TX

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!

This related question from another RealSelf user with the same problem might help: Stitch abscess after Breast augmentation?

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

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!

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

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.
