Thank you for the photos. What you have is some skin loss at the triple point. This is the most common area patients have wound healing issues. This is somewhat worrisome, especially when there are implants that have been placed.I would follow your plastic surgeons recommendations precisely and follow up with your surgeon frequently.Good luck.
Dear bfina001,thank you for your photos. Based on them there is a small wound dehiscence and the wound will need a longer period of time to heal. I can't see any sign of infection. You will probably end up with a wider scar but you can use silicone scar gel to try to reduce it.If you have any concerns you should consult with your plastic surgeon.

This is the most common complication from doing breast lift WITH augmentation because of the tension on the skin that is required. It's not infected. The white/green stuff is protein debris (like frying an egg white). Your body is trying to heal it. Just discuss it with your surgeon. It happens in about 10-20% of lifts with augmentation. All the tension at that "T" point and lack of blood flow to that area can make this area breakdown a bit. Usually gets no larger than a nickel or quarter. As long as your implant is protected underneath, it will be okay. Again, discuss with surgeon. Long-term, it can scar with a bit more color, but it will be hidden underneath the breast fold. You can use silicone on the area once it finishes healing. it will take 3-4 weeks or so. Follow the directions of your surgeon for this. Every surgeon does a little different thing for this. Your shape and everything looks great! Be encouraged.
That is a very good question. The Horndeski / Bellasoma method is a technique of avoiding the vertical scar in the standard breast lift. In a similar way as the Binelli Doughnut mastopexy has specific patients that it works well on, the Horndeski method appears very limited in that very few p...
I must start out by saying I don't find your goal photograph to be very appealing since the patient has suprapectoral implants and they may even be encapsulated. In your particular case however I find you to be a good candidate for augmentation with an appropriate and not overly large implant...
The difference in color most likely stems from a difference in blood flow caused by the surgery. This is not unusual for a short period of time after the operation. It is also possible that the blood flow is so weak on the left side that a problem is developing. I would visit your surgeon to...
