Photo 1: I was not given any dressings or after care instructions other than to use some padding between the incision and my bra if it feels like it’s rubbing. 2: I took a course of antibiotics 3: Now overgranulated 4: How my dressings look in the mornings I am wondering if this is normal? Should I still be experiencing these issues at 9 weeks post op? Do you think more should have been done by the nurse at my 1 week appointment? I’m feeling like I’m never going to heal. Any advice?
