Open Wound After BL with Implants - Florida

Worth It
Spent: $6,600 in Florida

Comments (11)

Posted 17 Jan 2012

Four weeks ago I had BL with implants. 5 days after I developed small blisters around the T incision then they became open wounds the size of a quarter in both breast. My PS said is ok, to clean w peroxide, apply polysporin and cover with gauze 2x a day. It's has been 3 weeks the recovery is slow, any suggestion? I am concern about the scars. Any one used or heard about wound-be-gone cream?

My rating:

My PS is one of the best from what I was, read online and others experience this can happen to anyone and depends on how the body heals. So far my PS has done everything and he feels very confident of my recovery.

I just experienced the same thing. I went to my doctor yesterday and go back. I'm worried, as well.

did you go on antiobiotics?

No, only the ointment w/gauze. I just want it to heal fast without scar. Have you heard about wound be gone cream? I have been reading about it, and speed the healing of open wounds with very little scars. Check the website, www.woundbegone.com I am willing to give it a try, because right now when this heals the scars are going to be very visible.
So, you have the blisters or the wounds?

i blistered and it bled with a wound. It seems to be healing better now, but the antibiotics have helped. I went to my doctor on Monday, Wednesday and go back tomorrow. He's been terrific. He gave me a cream, too (not be gone). Ask about antibiotics if it will speed it up. I started on Sunday.

I had BL aug 29 last year. At the six week post op point the incision opened under my right breast. Like yours, about the size of a quarter and very deep. went to dr. did antibiotic oitment for 4 weeks. no improvement. dr re stitched it back together. 2 week later broke open again. have been doing "wet to dry" packings with sterile saline for 4 weeks. It just starting looking better last week and is now healing extremely fast. By the way it looks, perhaps it will be healed next week. it will leave a big "crater" scar. LOL. I'm not worried at all about the scar, afterall, look at all the other scars. This one will seem like small potatoes next to them.

Well, I am In my second day of using "wound be gone" ointment. I read so much in the internet about the wonderful results and the almost no scars with this cream that I want to try it. I will keep you posted with my results. Good luck with your recovery, let me know about ur improvement.

Bebita, how do you feel? Did the ointment help?
bebita 1 Feb 2012
Yes, one week using the "wound be gone" wound seems to be healing, is not that deep. The other scars are looking good, they itch often special at night...it drives me crazy. Swelling is almost gone, only one section seems a .little hard. I see my ps exert two weeks now, he said everything looks good. I am not taking any antibiotics only 2000 mg of vitamin E. How is everyone else doing? Please keep me posted. Take care!

I'm glad your wound is healing! I'm sorry you had to go through that in the first place. Thanks for posting your experience here all RealSelf. I hope everything heals up quickly from here on out so you can just enjoy your results.
