Breast reduction 10 days ago. On day 2 large Hematoma developed on the side of breast and Spread to back. I was given a shot of blood thinner In the recovery room due to pulmonary embolism History. Dr thinks this caused hematoma. Jp drain is still in and pulling 3-4 tbls of what looks Like thick dirty motor oil . Drain site is very sore And slightly pink at opening.the black blood is about 2/3 gone But wondering if drain should still be left in. How long until hematoma heals? Very painful!!
I had a breast reduction 10 days ago and am feeling great. I was a 34G and suffered from back pain, headaches, carpal tunnel, the works. It has been a great relief to have the surgery done. That aside, how long should I feel swollen in my sides? I went to get measured for a sports bra to swap out with the surgical, and was measured at a 38D, when the doctor was aiming for a C. My guess is that I am super swollen, so just curious when I can expect this to subside.
Lft areola is tender with a dull ache w/ no trauma. After feeling wet, thr was a silver dollar sized blood stain on my bra. Becuz of the tape, Im not sure what is bleeding. I used gauze to clean w/hydrogen peroxide & took a shower. I added Neosporin and a band aid. Tht night the band aid had blood but was not soaked thru. I added more Neosporin and a new band aid. Is this normal for 10 days PostOp a BR? Should I be worried about a hematoma or broken stitches? Will this heal on its own?
Hi I am 10 days post Op after breast reduction and after 5 days my nipple started to go a kind of black colour and looked like dried blood, today after I showered the skin started to peel from my nipple revealing pink tissue, my surgeon said this is normal but Im just hoping I can get a second opinion as I am so worried that Im going to lose my nipple
Hi, I am 11 days post op from breast reduction and since the 4th or 5th day it has been oozing yellow puss it doesnt have a smell but I am still really worried that its infected my surgeon said it will be fine but I would just like a second opinion as I am very nervous about getting an infected
I just had breast reduction. Im 10 days post op. I noticed one of my areolas has darkened a lot. Almost black. Im worried if its dead or a scab?? Its really dry and peeling a bit. Also will my breast not look so boxy over time, will they fill out more or will they stay like this for good??
I underwent BR surgery on 5/10/18 and as soon as I was cleared to change my gauze and shower (about 2 days later), i noticed yellow discharge that wouldn't scab up. I keep dressing it and dressing it and now I am day 10 and it seems to be opening up. I have no fever, and it doesn't seem to be hot. Im not sure if it hurt due to being numb down there. Any thoughts?
