I had my reduction May 3, after 3 weeks of using the wet/dry gauze, my PS told me to use duoderm, healed within 2 weeks after that I could see progress after the 2nd day it was on. As long as there is no signs of infection u may want to give it a try. Another poster I know used it and had very good results as I did. Things do get better, just hang in there.

Is ur PS having u put paper tape on ur incisions? My PS told me to put paper tape on the incisions at 3 weeks and to wear it everyday for 4-5 months, my incisions r like a light pink with a little red but flat. It is paper tape for sensitive skin, I think it helps. I usually just wear it all night long once I am done for the day I put it on.

See if u can use duoderm, if your wounds are not draining your PS my let you use those. I had opening at the T and used them and they did wonders.

Lissa78,
I would definitely recommend the skin graft best decision I made I fought it then after 3 1/2 weeks on would vac, and little progress I gave in and within 2 weeks was pretty much healed. Best wishes!
