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

August 24, 2015
Asked By:jessicam55417 in Minneapolis, MN

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.

The struggle of BA post op day 6. Is it normal for the breasts to feel heavy, hard, and stiff?
Connie Hiers, MD, FACS says:

It is very common to feel tight, heavy, hard, and burning sensations. You have just been stretched and need to give your body time to heal and adjust. Do keep your follow up visits, and follow all your surgeon's instructions about massage. Hopefully soon you will love your new look.
