Im about 3 weeks post op, breast reduction and lift from a 38G to around a C/D, and I just wanted to make sure everything looks normal. Ive been putting a triple antibiotic ointment on the incision areas and setting a gauze pad on top under my bra (thats the weird square marks). My surgeon and I have talked about the possible necrosis on the left areola and he says everything else is looking normal Im just paranoid and wanting to double check.
6 weeks post breast reduction and lift. 2 weeks after surgery breakdown started on both breasts and have progressively gotten worse...the left more so than the right. PS said not to worry and to keep applying bacitracin ointment and wear surgical bra. Should I Shower daily to help debride or avoid water? Worried its goimg to get even worse. Thank you for your advice
I had a breast reduction almost 4 weeks ago and this wound in the T junction is scary looking. When they took the steristrips off there was blistering underneath and they ended up having to take some stitches out that were trying to come through. I was told to put ointment on and cover. It looks like it is getting worse to me. The black spots in the wound are NOT scabs. Is it necrotic? How often do I need to change my dressings?
I had bilateral breast reduction exactly one month ago. My scars are healing very well except for my left breast. Im having a hard time healing by the T-junction and I cant get into my doctors office until next Wednesday. What do you suggest I put on it ointment wise and also should I put a bandage on the wound or let it breathe?
I got my breast reduction on 11/04, And Im concerned about my scars because my doctor didn't prescribed me nothing to put on it, he just prescribed me painkillers and antibiotics to take, but nothing for the incision, any recommendations please!!!
