I had a breast reduction three years ago as well as nipple piercings. The piercings are out as of a year ago but lately Ive noticed white bumps were the piercings were AND red bumps around the areola scar on my breasts. Obviously seeing things on the internet can go crazy so if I can get some advice please! photo)
Hi. I have asked my provider about this. However I would also like the views and experiences of other doctors re my incisions. It started with a scab and now at around 17 days after surgery there is separation and white tissue. I had a hematoma on left breast although it seems to be the right that has more of an issue at t junction. I have just started antibiotics and antibiotic cream. Are they healing ok? Will incision get worse before better
Approximately 1 month post-op (25 days to be exact). 23 yr old, healthy BMI non-smoker. Im concerned about the appearance of the scar, originally there was crusting which turned to sloughing. Surgeon said it appeared normal(2wks).Now the crusty old skin hassloughed off left this white appearance. occ sharp pain there, not warm to the touch. Right breast had a lot of residual fluid and i have to massage to break up. Is the incisions healing properly? And is there anything else i could do to help?
Im had a breast reduction 6 weeks ago and took off my bandages and saw that the skin didnt heal completely and there is white/yellow discharge coming from the incision. Is it a seroma and if so should I get it drained?
I am 16 days post op. I just saw my PS 3 days ago. I had some black scabbing at the bottom and she said it was normal. I am just showering with Dial soap and using coco butter before pads. It's gotten bigger and whitish coloring is starting to appear around the edges. Could this be beginning stages of necrosis? My PS is gone this week, so I could wait or go in to see one of her colleagues. I would rather wait if I can, but don't want to if this could be the beginning of something worse.
Is this area of necrosis healing normally? It was first a black scab then my PS did slight debriding and revealed dark red tissue under. Now it's become inflated and white. No odor, some pain but I was told I have some fat necrosis as well. Is this abnormal? I had a breast reduction. No implants.
I am almost three weeks post op. I had a breast reduction and lift. I have had a slight yellow drainage from both breasts. Mostly from the horizontal incision. Last week I started seeing openings with a white matter inside. My breasts feel very tight and full. I am also getting an electric shock like feeling in my nipples. My doctors triage nurse said this is all normal. I am scared because it seems it's getting worse. I feel like I'm going to have a horrific scars. Is this normal?
There is no pain or fluid or anything, just the scab has been getting bigger and more red. I'll post comparison pictures. I have been using Strataderm scar therapy twice a day on my incisions as recommended by my doctor.
I had a breast reduction & tummy tuck 2 weeks ago, the JP sites on my breasts have white tissue. The left breast has some darkening of the skin and I'm freaking out, could it be infected? My breast tingle a lot, no fevers, no erythema surrounding scars.
The place where my drains are placed hurt really bad. Also I have white string like stuff coming out into the bulbs, is this normal? The pain med's that I have are not helping with all the pressure and this pain where the drains are inserted...is there anything I can do to ease the pressure?
