I removed my steri strips and was taken aback by some of the incisions and stitching. During my follow up appt the tape was still on, so I hadnt seen the incisions yet. He told me I could remove the tape that day, and start the silicone sheeting immediately. Is this how everyones scars look at this point? Also, I have a few spots with a white stitch poking out that will not come out when I pull, and a blistered area that my surgeon said was nothing to worry about, but its making me nervous!
I am considering having both procedures at the same time but am concerned with recovery in regards to having to lay on my back for the breast reduction recovery. Will that make swelling worse on my back? Or in any other way impede that recovery? I am already very nervous to have any procedure done and thinking about recovering from two affecting front and back makes me worry. I assume I will have to wear a compression garment for both?
I have T junction skin breakdown. I am super nervous I was an out of town patient. The doctor says to keep it clean and put gauze on it and let it dry out to heal. He called it mechanical debridement. Should I be putting a wound care cream on it? I am almost 4 weeks post op and I just want it gone.
After doing some research my stictches and ripples look a little adnornal to me and I'm starting to panic. Why did he cut so far into my side? Ripples? No bra to wear? Plus I'm still in a lot of pain 9 days p/o BR & mini Tt. How long does pain usually last for BR patients? Thank you!!!!
I'm extremely nervous but I hear my PS Dr. Quigley is the best so that helps. Is it normal to freak out about being put to sleep, I've been put to sleep twice, but that was before I had my children. I would love a whole new makeover and maybe one day will get it but as a hair stylist we don't get paid when we are off
My surgery for breast reduction is scheduled for tomorrow, I run a little lower on the blood pressure and my heart rate also runs a little lower, should I be concerned about being out out? My heart doc was sending all my notes so the anesthesiologist would know. What questions should I ask him? Nervous about not waking up, is that a normal fear for most people having surgery?
I'm having a breast reduction in a couple of hours and I'm really nervous. What will the pain be like after it's over and how much pain is there when they take out the drainage tubes. Can they give me an anxiety medication before? I usually take two antidepressants at night before bed but my surgery is at 7pm can I take those before it? But I feel like ill need something stronger.
