Open wound after lift - What do you suggest? (photo)

Based on your picture, you do not seem to have an infection. Continue your PS's advise on wound treatment as every PS has different post op care instructions. I tell my patients to keep it dry and cover with gauze.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Although this may not be an issue, it would be a good idea to see your surgeon for an assessment just to be safe.

Dear deboraguillen23,
this type of wound is not uncommon after breast lift. It is usually caused by poor blood flow. I would suggest you to consult your plastic surgeon, follow your surgeon's instructions and keep your wound clean and covered. It can take few weeks or months for wound to fully heal.

It appears to be a scab, but please go back to your surgeon and be checked that the implant is not trying to become exposed.

Hello, and thank you for your question. (Keep in mind that an in-person consultation is necessary for the best advice.) I'm sorry to hear that you've had trouble after surgery. Wound healing complications are not uncommon. Local wound care is the treatment. Be patient. and follow up with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!
