I had a breast lift w/ implants 6 weeks ago. There is an expanding hole at the bottom of both breasts where the line and circular incisions meet. I tried silver wound antimicrobial gel and covered the wound with waterproof bandaid, but it seems to not work. The wounds look wider, but no swelling and only minimal clear drainage noted. Any ideas about a dressing? My surgeon gave me Tecassol powder upon d/c 4 wks ago. I thought about using xeroform dressing. Would this work?
