Hey! I had my surgery December 17th and was definitely swollen. It did come and go though. It came down and then I went back to work and swelled. Everyone is different. My dr took off my steri strips at my second post op but told me at my first post op that they might fall off on their own and that was fine. I keep most of my incisions covered with gauze still, using the gentle paper tape to hold it on and I let them breathe every few days. It's hard to tell what's normal and what's not with this but that's what we're here for!
Has anyone broken out on their chest after surgery? It's not on the breasts themselves, really. But below my neck. Ive never really had acne that bad so its kind of unusual. and I don't want to use any wash or anything special other than my dial antibacterial because I don't want that to run down on my incisions since I still have some scabs. It's really not bad, but just curious!
I didn't have an allerigic at all and am peeling. Around the incisions and elsewhere! I'm not worried though. I think it's normal. My doctor saw it and wasn't concerned. Glad you're feeling better!
Don't worry! My first night was the toughest but you will feel better everyday. Especially day 3 was a huge improvement. Your doctor might be able to call something in for you if the itching gets to be too much. You're doing great!
