I saw my PS on Monday and he stated he wanted to see me again in two weeks for this "scab?" After a little research on this site, it appears as if this may be more than a scab. Seems to me like it is Necrosis. Any opinions would be helpful, and also, what kind of treatment is usually used for situations like this? Should I wait two weeks or is this something that needs to be addressed ASAP. As of right now, he has advised me to do nothing until I see him again in two weeks.

Answer: Tissue Necrosis with Implant Surgery or With Lift/Reduction Yes, it is not unusual to see delayed wound healing or skin necrosis after these types of procedures. The important point is how to manage this down the road. There is a HUGE difference if this represents an implant case or not. Patients having undergone a Breast Lift or Breast Reduction without implants can be managed very conservatively without much concern for the depth of the wound, time to complete healing, or to some extent the exact "status" of the wound. These will heal eventually, perhaps with the need for a revision in the office under local anesthesia.
