Hi, I am 5 weeks post opp breast augmentation. My breasts have dropped and are healed but, I have found stitching on the lateral part of the scaring the stitching poking out. On each breast. Is this normal? I was told I was glued. Will the stitching disappear? Or is this a cause for concern?
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon completes surgery. Incision in the fold of breast. No issues during surgery or recovery; implants have moved properly, very little swelling remains. I have followed all orders & feel great. Tonight, while moving the implant per surgeons orders; I felt & heard a small pop. I am pretty sure that I broke an internal stitch, there are no visible changes. At this stage of recovery, what needs to be done IF I did break a stitch?
next week I will be one month post op, I got absorbable stitches , and there one one place where there is a hole deep and when I touch it its like the stitch wont be absorbed and little red but it is so small and last time when I asked my doctor he said I don't have to be worried about it ! but its a deep hole directly near my areola. What should I do ? is it going to turn to an infection or maybe it will be a hole in my skin like that because its about a month now ?
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'm officially 3 weeks post op. I took a look at my incisions this morning with a mirror and wasn't sure what I was looking at. My PS used dissolvable stitches and then skin glue. I'm supposed to wait for the glue to come off and the use silicone sheets. Is the blackness over/around my incision skin glue? I was expecting it to have come off by now
I have lateral displacement more on my right breast. Its been bothering me so I was seen by my ps. She was pretty vague, but had mentioned using stitches to fix my stretched pocket. I was then told by an outside party that my ps should have mentioned using mesh, because stitches almost always dont stay. Can someone please shed light on what I should do. Thanks in advance.
My dissolvable stitch must have been poking out during my shower and got caught and I started bleeding. Ive been bleeding for 3 days non-stop. My PS said it doesnt seem to be infected from the pictures but I have a fever now and the right breast is hard, stiff and heavy. Is this a cause for concern? What can I do? The stitch is still poking out, shall I cut it? I had my surgery done abroad so cant just go in to see my PS :(
One of the stitches is sticking out and is rubbing against my bra and causing extreme discomfort. it is not infected but i can see two of them sticking out. It has been 3 weeks since my augmentation and I dont think that i can wait weeks for this to disappear. what are my options. I am also afraid if it is snipped shorter will it then continue to grow out and possibly this time get infected?
