I had a Breast lift almost 3 weeks ago and now they are infected. Please help! My doctor, Dr Ishan Basaran is ignoring my calls once he saw the pictures of my infection. I went to a local nurse (I'm in thailand). And she took out some of the stitches as she said they were infected and that they should have dissolved by now. What do I do! The wound is gapping open. Am I gonna have a massive scar? I'm devastated that my body has been ruined forever

Answer: What to do about breast lift infection So sorry to see that you are going through this, and that your surgeon has not been responsive to you. We wound certainly expect our colleagues to be responsive when a patient has a problem. Obviously, you need to find another plastic surgeon if you are not getting prompt follow up. Wound issues in this are not an uncommon problem with your surgery, especially when a larger implant is done at the same time. If you have an implant that was put in, it is especially important to be followed closely. You will have a wide scar, but it will likely heal better than you imagine, and the scar can be revised in necessary in the next year. Get the care you need and you should do well.
