Hi I’m just looking for your excellent professional opinions. I’m 36, no kids 5ft 7 51kg. 4 weeks post op anchor lift no implant. After 2 daysI lost skin at the vertical incision, my PS removed stitches at the 2 week mark and the skin split further. There has been no infection and 2 days ago she removed the dead skin. She is happy at new skin is forming and I cover the area in Vaseline and gauze 2x daily. I’m worried about this affecting the final shape and lift.
Answer: Should I be worried after anchor lift with no implant? I'm sorry to hear about the complication you have experienced; Although understandably distressing to patients, these types of incision line (wound) healing problems tend to heal over the course of several weeks. Sometimes, the area may look worse before it looks better. Most often, even larger open wounds have healed by the time a patient reached the two months post op mark.

Answer: Secondary healing after skin/wound separation Although your situation looks dramatic right now it will improve and heal without significant shape, size change. Very likely scar revision will be needed; in that time additional shape adjustment may be done if needed. Good luck.

Answer: Breasts I am so very sorry you are going through this. You will heal. In about six months after you are healed, your surgeon can revise the scars to make them smaller and tighten any loose skin. Once the scars are revised, there may be no extra loose skin. It may take a few procedures, but most, if not all, could be done in the office under local anesthesia. Keep following your surgeon's instructions and follow up with her frequently.
