Few day ago, during my one week consultation, my surgeon told me to examine my breasts for possible inflammations, tears or separations. Low T connection is being most likely to misbehave. I didn't clarify then, but what is the best way to prevent T-junction separation? Also my low T connection is in the skin fold, not as exposed as the most I see on this site. Any additional advise for that? Thank you!

Answer: T Junction The best that you can do is to continue to follow your physicians advice at this point in terms of post operative activity. You should avoid any heavy lifting, pushing, or pulling for 4-6 weeks to allow your incisions to heal. You should also avoid wearing an underwire bra. Outside of a balanced diet and avoiding smoking...nothing additional you can do will help the t junction heal any better. In terms of scar position, its still early days but the goal of the surgery is to place the scar in or just above the breast fold so that is totally normal.

Answer: Excessive tension or poor blood supply contribute to wound separation and your photos appear to show none of that. On the assumption you are following your surgeon's recommendations, there is really nothing else that you can do to prevent a wound separation. And on the outside chance one does develop, with good wound care, it will heal exceptionally well. Your surgeon is only mentioning a common problem with the anchor incisions... but yours appear good at one week and its unlikely anything adverse will occur.
