I had a mastopexy and augmentation on 3/9.On 4/8, slightly above the inverted T junction,the incision started to open up and I've since had multiple spitting sutures removed.It's approx the size of a quarter and is fairly superficial.It was cultured and I was put on abx.The wound now looks clean, but there is no visible improvement.My surgeon had me apply Silvadene BID,but when I f/u with his partner,he said to do wet-to-dry dressings.Any advice on the best way to treat and speed this up?
Hello, I had a breast reduction/lift and implants done 4 weeks ago through the areola. The sutures were removed about a week ago and I started to notice some separation of the skin from the areola thats not really getting better. It doesnt hurt much, just some pulling/burning sensation. It feels like an abrasion. I clean it every day and apply antiobiotic ointment and some other cream (to promote healing) as instructed by my PS (hes outside of the U.S). What am I doing wrong? Is this normal?
22 days post-op, NAC became obviously necrotic 1 day post op and wound was small, no wound care performed, or after care given. Eschar fell off and NAC wound opened with exposed sutures. I am extremely unhappy. Was recommended to remove implants and am doing so the day after tomorrow. Would like wound closure as well. Please let me know thanks
I am a 27 year old femLe with no kids. Surgery went well, I came home and felt well. On July 6 I noticed yellow drainage from my right breast and immediately notified my surgeon and saw him in the office on June 8 because the wound started opening. Again i saw him on July 10 for the same issue, only worse. Then again shortly following because the wound completely dehisced. He scheduled surgery for wound closure then cancelled and I'm now using Prisma.
I am almost two weeks post op from a benelli lift on my left side with implants. My surgeon used dermabond for the incision and I noticed about two days ago that as the dermabond wore away the skin and the nipple are no longer sitting flush. I called and they told me to leave it. I don't necessarily want to say it's a dehiscence because it's not wide open, I'm just unsure if it will heal without intervention of some sort. The Third picture gives the best view of my issue. Thank you in advance
I have horrible sjin breakdown after a lift. I am almost 5 weeks out. Day 8 grew klebsiella and enterococcus, took 2 weeks of Bactrim. Third week grew out Pseudomonas. My Dr said they are just superficial wounds and only Silvadene is needed. I am so worried. He will do a staged exc of scar 6-12mos out. 300cc Silicone. Afebfril lower half of breast somewhat red, but not swollen or tender. Any feedback on how to heal faster? wondering if HBO might help. Worried about implant integrity
