Is there anything else to aid in healing open wounds after a breast reduction? (Photos)

Asked By:lmjohnson74 in Cincinnati, OH

I am 4 weeks post op. And I have several areas that are not healing and I am getting so discouraged. I change my dressings and have added vitamin c and zinc to my daily regimine and I am seeing my doctor once a week. I just feel it’s not getting any better and starting wonder if they will ever look normal again. My husband was opposed to the surgery so the complications have really put a strain on our marriage as well.
