How to heal a breastlift wound?Should I use silicone bandages on my breastlift scars? (Photos)

lampedusa1995
It’s been almost 5 weeks since I had my breastlift and tummy tuck. My breasts are starting to hurt more and the wounds still aren’t fully closed and they are leaving bright yellow residue on my clothing. How do I get my wounds to heal fast? And can I still wear the special bra the surgeon gave me? Or should I leave my breast to dry in the open air? What to do? Also my scars are starting to appear more red than a couple of days ago, is that something to be worried about?
