Open wound, infection, cellulitis and eschar formed after fibroidadenoma removal. Any suggestions? (photos)

jessicam55417Aug 24, 2015
I had a benign fibroidadenoma removed 2 weeks. The next couple days seemed normal I had bruising and some swelling. On the 4th or 5the day the skin on my bruise began peeling off leaving thin red skin over the next couple days a dollar coin sized area was exposed and oozing. Within another couple days the would split and a large black eschar (?) formed over half the area. The open area oozes green and brown discharge.

Yes, you will likely require IV access for your breast augmentation surgery. This will be for fluid management and administration of medications.

Thank you for your question.  It sounds as if you have not had any major complications after your breast augmentation, and as such you should be free to proceed.
