Any advice in regards to wound care for t-zone area after breast reduction?

Thank you for the question and the poetic description of the area of concern ( “corners of sorrow”) after breast reduction surgery.

 Although it is not possible to give you precise advice without direct examination, it may be helpful for you to know that wound healing problems can occur after breast reduction surgery;  with local wound care,  these wounds generally go on to heal over the course of a few weeks.

As you know, your plastic surgeon will be your best resource to help you through this potentially stressful period.  He/she will likely have specific recommendations as to wound care.  Antibiotics are not necessarily indicated ( if an infection is not present).

 Best wishes;  hopefully, you will be very pleased with the outcome of the procedure.

DubaiDoubleH: The inverted T zone is a frequent place for delayed wound healing, as it represents a high "stress" point, where the outer and inner breast flaps unite with the vertical limb.  Frequently the deeper sutures will get exposed, causing a little irritation, occasionally some blood and pus, which alarms the patient.  This is called a "stitch abscess" and although it sounds ominous, it should be brought to your PS consultant's attention promptly.  (S)/he will be able to make recommendations on both local wound care and antibiotic therapy.  Occasionally the offending suture knot will be trimmed and the problem resolve.  In the event that the scar widens, you may ask about delayed scar revision, 6-9 months after it has resolved.  Good luck.
