I had a breast lift/augmentation 11 weeks ago. A few days after surgery I had what looked like a blood blister at the t junction under my left breast. My doc said leave it alone so after stitches were removed it formed a scab. About 3 or 4 weeks ago the scab came loose and she debrided it and now it's just a hole. I've been using Silvadene cream and keeping it covered as instructed. Doesn't look much better and I'm getting a little worried. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
