“Discoloration, Possible Dying Skin - Key Largo, FL”
Spent: $2,000 in Key Largo Fl.
Posted 30 Mar 2011
My experience has been pretty good so far im still in the process of healing. My surgery was done on Feb.5th,the Mastectomy part went fantastic. The Plastic Surgeon went in right after the Mastectomy Doctor and put my implants in and sewed me up. The plastic surgeon took my stitches out 3wks ago and just this past fri. my skin started seperating on my left breast which had more done to it then the right because I had Cancer cells in my milk ducts & a tumor which took up about a third of my left breast. The doctor sewed back up the left breast but under the stitch line the skin has gotten a little dis-colored. He said he's worried it might be the skin dieing but the spot is very small, is there a way I can help prevent it from getting worse?
