Just had prophylactic double mistake to me direct to implant reconstruction. Found out the next day I had a huge blister under my skin. Once it popped a large area of dark skin remains. I've been using Silvadene cream and hoping for the best. Dr. is not giving me any answers. Dr. said it could heal or it might not. Any thoughts? My fear is losing The skin as I am very thin and I don't have any place else they can take from.
