I had my first breast lift and implants 24 years...
- 2 Jul 2012
I had my first breast lift and implants 24 years ago and was extremely pleased. I would have never done it a second time but both of my implants were leaking so there was no choice in the matter. I recently underwent the second lift minus the implants as I did not want to ever have to have breast surgery again. The date of my surgery was June 4 2012.
It was 1 week later when I notice at the time a dime size opening at the T section of my left breast. I went to the surgeon and showed him. His response was there is nothing we can do it just had to heal itself. He said use neosporium and put a band aid on it. I have an allergy to adhesives which I told him about but on went the band aid. Needless to say when I took off the aid aid the hole was twice the size on the left breast. I believe for me that is where all my problems started is with the steri strips they used to close the other incision. The reason I say that is when he took them off there were blisters all along the incision on both breast. A week later the right breast opened up at the T site as well. I told the doctors how worried I was as I was leaving on vacation he said I would be fine but if it got worse to take a picture and send it to him and he would advise me what to do. So her I am in NY with a heat wave creating so much moisture under my breast guess who is getting a picture today! It has made sad, angry, ugly and doubtful of ever seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

I take a lot of supplements for my immune system. I am really good at eating a well balance diet . I think I am starting to heal but have a long way to go. I stopped wear any type of bra . I wear a camisole and put gauze under my breast, I clean it with saline and use a blow dryer to get it completely dry . I use neosporin around the healthy part of tissue. The drainage has slowed down a lot. I can't wear paper tape it tears my skin. I will keep you posted on my progress.
Thank you for your support
I'm really sorry you're going through this. I'm sure that heat really makes things feel so much worse. Please let us know what your surgeon says.
I think I have turned a corner. I started taking large amount of vitamin C, stopped wearing any kind of bra and use gauze under my breast. My camisole holds it in place. I clean it with saline twice a day and use a blow dryer to make sure it is very dry. Around the outer skin that is healthy I use neosporin.
Thank you for asking.
