I had a breast aug a year ago in March and have another scheduled next month. For some reason my body does not like dissolving stitches and I had a pretty big one fester up and then I realize there is a scab on it so I washed the area with hibiclens and applied germ shield on it. Ive had (4) surgeries in the last two years 3 of them because I got an infection after the original surgery and I am just scared at this point. Also my nipple is not normal I know due to complications.
I am currently 3 weeks post op and my streri strips have come off. The doctor put dissolvable stitches in the incision and therefore do not need to be removed.I noticed that my incisions have dark areas that are bumpy and have some dry skin around it. Is this a scab/dried blood that has formed and part of a normal healing process? Or is it the stitches poking out?? Also, is it likely that an infection may be present? Any help would be appreciated!!
I keep applying the cream and I sometimes apply gauze when I'm at work to protect the incision from sticking onto the bra but it seems that when I do remove the gauze, the bit of skin that was healing tends to come off as well and I'm back to square one. What can I do? How long will it take for this to heal? Will there be a noticeable scar afterwards?
I visited Drs office today for my 2 weeks post-op follow up. Dr removed the steri strip (which it was intact) on the incision site and scab was also pulled off with the steri strip (like you can see in the picture, right side incision site is pink without scab). Im really concerned if this will make my incision scars look worse later because it was not come off naturally. And also Dr did not put anything on the incision site and it is now just dry and exposed. And if it is, what action should I take?
I am wondering if I am experiencing normal scabbing of my areola and nipple or if this appears to be something more serious such as an infection or necrosis? I am 1 week and 5 days post-op and have had no complications aside from this. I am not in any pain and do not have a fever. My PS said that this is all normal scabbing which will fall off and some of the scab has fallen off this past week. However I am still concerned about the top of the areola and with how flat the nipple is. Thank you!
I am 3 weeks post op & right breast had purple bruising, more scabbing & has a larger scab under the right nipple. 2 days ago I noticed there was a drop of blood oozing out. Doctor said to put bacitracin & bandaid once a day but its day 2 now & more yellow/brown stuff come with the bandaid after taking it off. Now it seems softer and like it has moist green stuff on it, in a way it looks like the scab is separating or cracking from up close. What could this b
