Wound dehiscence post BA & BL?

Sorry you are have wound healing complications after your surgery. Without an examination in person it is not possible to evaluate the full extent of the problem. As stated, there are different ways and different approaches to dealing with these types of complications. Best to follow your chosen plastic surgeons recommendations and advice. Best wishes. Dr Sam Gershenbaum

I appreciate your question.

I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients.  Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing at this time.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Best of luck!

this is a very complicated question with an answer that has to come from your own plastic surgeon. there are number of ways to treat this problem and they are each tailored to the given problem.

In the absence of actual implant exposure or infection, there is little reason to remove the implant(s). It would be distinctly uncommon to close the wounds if they are open and contaminated. The difficulty is that there is no way for us to know the specifics of your individual situation. Best of luck hope all goes well.

Sorry for your serious post operative complication of inferior 1/3 areolar necrosis wth wound dehiscence. This is a known complication of the operation usually due to a combination of factors: to tight a closure, de vascualarizaton of that area of N/A, to large implant causing outward pressure, or a mix of them all. Looking only at your posed photos I might try aggressive wound care to avoid implant removal unless there is an infection. Only in person exemption of this can determine if explantation indicated. Many seeking paid second opinions from private practice boarded pSs could add some light to help making the decision...
