Using small vibrator on incisions.

August 26, 2016
Asked By:Divinesurprise in City Of Industry, CA

I had breast reduction surgery 3 days ago. I find using a small vibrator over a layer of gauge, sports bra, and shirt is very soothing to the incision areas. Is this helpful, or am I going to cause a problem doing this?

Bleeding, weeping and feeling like I'm being split in two. Any suggestions?
Matt Erdmann, MBChB, FRCS(Eng), FRCS (Plast) says:

Recovery can take as long as 6 weeks. At 2 weeks the scars are just about waterproof but the deeper scarring is still stiff and immature - this is probably causing you your pain! Ultimately 3 months is the golden figure when all tissues have settled fully.
