Asked By:lauraef in Florida, FL

4 weeks post op of anchor lift and implant. I saw my PS on 08/03 and he said the incision was closed and healing perfectly and approved beginning scar treatment. The beginning area of the crease incision had always been more sensitive which is prob why i didnt notice right away. I dont think its been like this for more than 2-3 days but theres really no telling. I fear of infection. Can anyone tell me what may have caused this and how should i treat it until i can get in to see my surgeon?
