Discouraging splits in both breasts... any advice?

  • 16 Sep 2014
  • 2 months post
Right breast split is increasing and now the left breast which was almost healed is splitting again. Any advice besides stay in touch with PS (I am). Do I forget the compression bra? Try to give the breasts an hour's break from any bra a couple times a day? Or use compression bands? Not sure what helps or if I'm doing something to compound the problem. Using Bacatracin and non-stick pads with no tape.

8 wks R breast opens at bottom "T"

My left breast wound is almost closed but a few days ago, the top skin layer of the right breast started to split. It's not deep like the left breast was. In fact, the wounds look almost identical. They seem to be healing though (granulated). I struggled with wearing the compression bra 24-7 because it irritated my scars but perhaps my breasts needed the support. I'm now using compression bands at night to "mix up" the pressure points. Keeping Bacatracin on the wounds which helps. This journey is one of trial and error. Wondering if it's ok to use Vit E oil now on the other places or should I wait until the entire wound is closed.

My thunderous breasts caused me constant neck and back pain. With boobs hanging down to my stomach, none of my clothes fit correctly. I looked obscene in a swimsuit and felt like an old lady. After surgery I went from a 36 DDD to a 36 B. I love my little boobs! I look ten pounds lighter. Recovery is a bear, though. (Icing really helps.) Still worth it! Went smaller than I first thought and am glad I did. Didn't want to go through all this and still be big. Beware of applying Embrace too soon (applied two wks post-op).I got an infection that set me back. Except for that, a great experience.

Dr. Bandy is an artist. Not all surgeons have the skill to properly resection breasts into a natural appearance after removing a large amount of tissue like she does. Many doctors rely on implants to give a full shape. I chose Dr. Bandy because of her qualifications and photos of her results posted online were so beautiful. Perhaps the real test of a doctor comes when something goes wrong. I had a reaction to Embrace (a scar reducing silicone sheet) that resulted in an infection. Dr. Bandy let me talk though my concerns as long as I needed to and helped me work through it. She is patient, has a great attitude, is fun, respectful, knowledgeable and skillful. Staff is wonderful.
