I’m on day 36 post op. My incision was not this open. Saw it today and the darkness inside worries me. The redness on my skin was a dermatitis I got from the tapes. What do you suggest. Thank you
Answer: 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

Answer: Breast Lift 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!
