Hi there, Thank you for your question. An average incision should take approx 3 weeks to heal closed, it may take more or less time depending on the incision. Speak with your surgeon to ensure you are healing well. Best, realdrsix
Hi jl1016,There are many factors which affect wound healing. The most important are your nutritional status, type of incision, possible complications like haematoma or infection. In optimal conditions wound can heal in 3-4 weeks. If you have any concerns regarding your postoperative recovery, then you should visit your plastic surgeon.Wishing you the best of luck!Dr. Daniel Barrett MDBeverly Hills Plastic Surgeon
Hello JL.It sounds like you had an anchor pattern breast lift. This is a more complex surgery. Generally speaking, it takes from 2 to 6 weeks to fully heal an anchor incision. Your nutrition may be a big factor in the timing. Speak to your plastic surgeon about recommendations.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO :)
This depends on whether you have already experience some degree of wound opening/dehiscence. If you have, it will obviously take additional weeks to fully close. In general, scars take a year to mature so they are always red, raised, and bumpy initially. Best to consult with your operating surgeon if you have specific concerns about your scar. Good luck!
Typically a small area, about half the size of your little fingernail, can heal in 1-3 weeks but there is no definite amount of time. There are too many factors such as the size of the wound, the depth of the wound, whether or not it is infected, the amount of swelling and drainage from the wound to name a few. Additionally, there are other factors such as other medical problems like diabetes and whether or not your smoking and your activity level.Your best option is see your plastic surgeon and follow their guidance and recommendations to ensure the quickest and optimal healing for you.This area often times does have a little delayed healing and does often heal excellent.Best of luck
This really depends on many factors not least how big the the break down is. A photograph would help. Your general medical condition would also be relevant. Are you diabetic? Do you smoke? Are you on any medication? Do you suffer from other medical conditions? Do you eat a healthy diet? All these factors can effect healing.Once it has broken down it is going to take at least 2 weeks and more than 3 months would be unusual. So as you can see one needs more information to give a more accurate estimate.You are best advised to seek the advice of the surgeon who carried out your surgery or a suitably trained and experienced plastic surgeon.
It's hard to say. The T-incision takes the longest to heal anyway as there is more pressure on this incision than on there others. My best advice is to follow your surgeon's wound care protocol to the letter and be patient. Even though things may look bad now, the incisions on the breast heal remarkably well.
Depending on sizw of wound and cause around 2 to 3 weeks if appropriately managed and there is no infection or fat necrosis.
Thank you for your question. It is very common for the surface or superficial skin to slough or be removed following breast lift T incision. With proper care including cleansing, wet-to-dry saline dressings these wounds typically re-epithelialize and heal in over 3-4 weeks. Very large areas may take longer. The most important thing is proper wound care which your surgeon should manage. Reed below:
HelloWound healing would be dependant on various factors1.nutrional status2. Haemoglobin3. is it just skin break or there is some soft tissue loss also4. any infection or just fat necrosis5. is the closure too tight, meaning, any vascular damageIt would be very difficult to generalise, but 3 weeks is a period when most problems get sorted out, unless there is infection, wherein it will take longer
A horse voice and painful swallowing six days after breast augmentation with general anesthesia is rare. A phone call and or visit with your plastic surgeon would be suggested so that he or she may discuss your symptoms with the anesthesiologist.
I think you may want to have him remove that suture as well. It is not uncommon for some of the buried sutures, that typically dissolve over time, to erupt to the surface. It is not a significant issue in the long run. All the best, Talmage Raine MD
Thank you for your question and photo. It’s impossible to make an assessment based on a photo alone, and at 5 months post-op, it’s possible that your implants are still in the process of “dropping” into place. However, if your nipples were low before getting breast augmentation, the procedu...
