I noticed 2 days ago that I had some discharge under the tape under my right breast where the two incisions meet. Upon closer investigation I see a hole. I emailed a picture to my PS office (I am two hours away) and was advised this is quite common and that I should leave it open with polysporin and let it heal over. I am concerned because the hole is about the size of the end of my pinky finger and seems rather deep. Should I be packing it instead? Or does it need more intervention than that?
Silicon implant 375cc and 420cc placed over the muscle 1,5 months ago. Had pain and yellow discharge coming from the incision after a surgery on my left breast ( which eventually developed cc) . I went to my doctor one month later complaining for pain, hardness and change in breast shape he diagnosed me cc grade 4.Now Im taking Singular and some inflammatory drugs, tried to do Aspen therapy, but they told me it wont help. So my doctor wants to perform capsulectomy, but Im scared cc will happen again.
I'm 3 weeks post op and my right incision (in the crease) has been open for about the last week. I'm on two strong antibiotics and icing a lot, plus changing the gauze over it twice daily, but I still have discharge (yellow and red). That breast is swollen, but not red) but my PS said worst case I'd need to have the implant removed. He didn't tell me how likely that is. Are my odds 50/50? Better? Worse?
Started developing extreme dry/cracked skin w/a clear sticky discharge from areola 3mo ago. My plastic surgeon thinks its just dry skin & maybe my milk ducts leaking. It dries into a yellow crust and sticks to eveeything. The skin on/around areola has become extremely discolored, itchy, red, cracked & raised. Moved out of state went to an urgent care, was prescribed clindamycin for 7 days due to bacteria presence found in discharge. 4wks later and its worsening. Getting scared, what should I do?
I am a month and a half post op - BA(saline)/BL(vertical) . I have these two holes from where the suture ?knots? Were exposed, they both came out, remaining two holes where discharge is coming out and a little blood out of the larger hole. Does this look infected? I'm going to call my surgeon to set up an apt, but just wanted to put my worries at ease. Thanks in advance
