I have a hole in the T incision. I saw my surgeon and he said put a bandaid on it and it will heal. It has yellow pus coming out. I’m a little concerned. Can someone advise? Thank you!

Answer: Post Op Incision Site Healing Hi J_Riley, I understand your concern. While it is common to have a superficial separation of the wound at the T junction following a breast lift surgery, this must be closely monitored and make sure it does not become infected. You should follow your plastic surgeon's post operative wound care management instructions. If you are concerned, it is best that you visit your plastic surgeon to have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: I have a hole in my incision? I have a hole in my incision? Hey thanks for bringing up just very important question. I’m sorry that you’re having a wound delay in your T incision. This is actually quite common. The woman can respond rather well to treatment. I suggest you have a conversation with your plastic surgeon wants again and discuss whether you need to be On antibiotics, whether you need to be on dressing changes, whether you need to be in a high-protein diet, whether you need to be on vitamins A, C, B, D, and zinc, Which are supplements that can assist you in healing faster. Don’t panic! Get to work. Good luck with the rest of your recovery, Dr. Aldo
