Asked By:Jae BIrd in Key West, FL

6 weeks post breast reduction and lift. 2 weeks after surgery breakdown started on both breasts and have progressively gotten worse...the left more so than the right. PS said not to worry and to keep applying bacitracin ointment and wear surgical bra. Should I Shower daily to help debride or avoid water? Worried it’s goimg to get even worse. Thank you for your advice
