22 days post-op, NAC became obviously necrotic 1 day post op and wound was small, no wound care performed, or after care given. Eschar fell off and NAC wound opened with exposed sutures. I am extremely unhappy. Was recommended to remove implants and am doing so the day after tomorrow. Would like wound closure as well. Please let me know thanks
Answer: 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.

Answer: Complications 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.

Answer: Wound dehiscence post BA & BL? (Photos) 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...
