Hi my wound became open at the end of my incision and has been infected for 2 weeks now. The infection has spread further along the wound and my whole boob is in pain but there is no redness or swelling. Im running a high temperature and feeling faint but I was told this is normal for an infection and I should just rest but I have now finished my course and Im still feeling like this. What should I do? I feel really worried and dont feel like my nurses or surgeon are taking me seriously.
4 weeks po. My left breast is very swollen, sore and numb at the same time. My would is open and it looks like some type of white sticky puss is coming out. My doctor said I dont not have enough calorie intake and it is causing the wound to heal slow. He says if I dont eat better my incision will basically rip and my implant will start to fall. He also removes some tiny stitches from inside. Will the scar close? Is it to late? Should I always keep it covered with gauze? Or let air heal the wound?
Yesterday, my surgeon advised me to switch from aquaphor dressings, to dry non-stick pads. I always heard to heal a wound, it needs a moist environment. Can someone explain what a dry dressing will do? Will it scab up? Will my scars end up being the size of the current openings? I have an appt in 8 days with a wound clinic. Would you suggest I keep that appointment or will this heal on it's own? Dr. says openings are due to history of smoking and being exposed to 2nd hand smoke.
I had a dissolving stitch that spit out entirely that left me with an open wound/hole. I developed redness around my areola along with a raised bump on my incision site away from the open wound. I also developed an abscess on my nipple. I was given Cipro (14 days) and Cephalexin (7 days) to take. Is it breast cellulitis? What is causing the raised bump on the incision site. Please note that the bump is NOT where the open wound is.
Bilateral BA on June 5th 375cc allergen cohesive gel moderate profile under the muscle, crease incision. Right breast dropped beautifully, is soft and natural looking and feeling but the insicion started to dehiscence two weeks ago, PS said to keep it dry and clean and not stretch my breast up. I got home from work today and noticed a significant hole, slight bloody drainage and what looks like a black interior of the hole itself. Please help, whats going on?
im 3 weeks after breast lift/ augment and about 5 days ago my pain got a but worse went to Dr and he took my tape if to find a hole at the bottom where the incision down from nipple meets the one under the breast. No smell some leakage doesnt appear infected but waiting on swab results. He put me on antibiotics and im to redress it daily. He doesnt seem to think its too bad and im waiting to hear back from surgeon but im sick with worry. is this really bad?
2 weeks post BA tomorrow. My left breast has always been more sore than the right and has yet to drop. I peeled off the surgical glue tonight on my left breast incision as it was coming off. It seems as though my incision is open. Does this look open and/or infected. Should I be concerned?
Hi I'm 3 weeks post BA. My right breast seems to have a small opening at the end of the incision. The scab fell off yesterday and I seen my gp that says it looks ok it's just new skin healing underneath where the scabs fell off. This morning it looks more open, should I be worried?
6 weeks post op now . At 4 weeks post op. Boob opened up. Dr said wet to dry dressing..after 2 weeks of that it got much worse. I heard about Manuka Honey and gave it a shot. 2 nights with no improvement. .does it need more time or not work at all????
I've had about10 different open wounds that my surgeon says is a result of suture spitting. I'm close to 5 months post op. Each time I think it will be my last sore, I start to get another one. This feels never ending and has been the worst experience of my life? Meanwhile, my breasts keep looking worse and worse. I feel completely helpless! What can I Do to help this process go smoother? How long is this suture spitting going to go on? Will I just have to deal with ugly, scarred breasts? Thanks
