I had a breast aug 9 months ago, and in the early weeks following the op one of my scars showed signs of a little bleeding where it hadn't healed as well as the rest of the incision. I treated this with iodine and kept it covered as recommended by my surgery. It cleared up over time as normal. However, this little brown mark has never gone. It's smooth to touch (I massage the scars with oil twice a day) but up close it does look like a little scab or blood blister. Should I seek advice from a GP?
I'm very worried that it looks worse instead of better. There is separation around the nipple and at the top of the T should I be worried. I am not sure what to think. I'm exactly 1 month post op what went wrong? My other nipple is fine.
Hi there! Im two weeks post op from my breast augmentation. My surgeon removed the tape from my incisions this past Saturday and was pleased with how things were healing. Tonight I accidentally peeled off a part of my left breasts incision scab when trying to (gently) remove sticky residual around the wound. Does it look okay? Should I be worried? Thank you.
I am 8 days post op and I got told by my surgeon to remove my tape every two days and put new tape on, it was my first time changing it today it really hurt taking the tape off, now my right one is in agony but only on the incision(scar) and my left one feels fine. Should I be cleaning it when I change the tape to stop infection? And should it be changed every two days? Because when I took it off The scabs came of with it. Also is there a painless way to remove the tape
I had a breast augmentation done 6 weeks ago, my left breast is still slightly higher than the other one and I still have a bit of a scab on the scar on my left breast, its not sore or red. I had a bit of whitish pinkish spotting after cleaning the scar. Overall my breast is nice and soft and the swelling is going down nicely. Do I need to be concerned about the scabbing?
I am scheduled for breast augmentation surgery in a week. Recently I have been having electrolysis on my tummy, bikini line, and some stray nipple hairs. I am very happy with the results, but I don't know how long I should wait after surgery before I can start treatment again. My electrologist is very sanitary, but I do get redness and small scabs sometime. Would there be an infection risk for the implants? If so, how long should I wait before starting treatment again? I do not want laser.
So Im 4WPO and everything has been going fine and recovery has been great. However, yesterday I noticed that one of my incisions has started to get a red mark around one corner and Im terrified I have an infection! Im not sure whether its just where the scab came off the other day and now its re-healing or if its where my sports bra might be rubbing it, HELP! My left side is healing perfectly, Ive attached pictures below for comparison. Should I call the nurse?
So my surgeon told me I could take the tape off my incisions off at about 20 days post op...my only question is that, I know the scabs are going to come off with it. Is that normal? Wouldn't that cause worse scarring? I know there's no going around it. They gotta come off. But I'm nervous. Plus how bad is it going to hurt??
