Anchor lift and 350cc implants procedure on Aug2. Separation occurred 8/23. Wound is still healing but has come a long way. PS is aware and has been guiding my wound recovery. He says over exertion of right arm is most likely to blame, which could be true bc I had been lifting my 23lb son. However apparently this is a very common risk with this type of surgery. Should my DR have split up the 2 surgeries, or had I been more careful, could I have avoided this?
