I had a breast lift over a month ago and it wont heal.. I've contacted the Doctor which is in a different country then me and he suggested placing tape on each side of the opening but it's not helping.. its bleeding and seeping and sticking to all my sports bras... I am lost on what to do and beyond scared seeing how the doctor who did the surgery is in a different country.
Answer: Delayed healing after a breast lift. It is hard to believe that wounds like this will eventually heal but they will unless there is some underlying problem like infection or severe malnutrition. I would advise you to see a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery for wound treatment and monitoring. Plastic surgeons are wound experts. After eventual healing, you may end up with unsightly scars and may benefit from a scar revision. Best of luck.

Answer: Why won't my wounds close? Open wounds can take weeks to months to close depending on their size and wound care. As long as there is no underlying infection, the wounds will eventually close. Since your original surgeon is the best person to manage any complications from your surgery, I would suggest returning to see your surgeon for advice and management of your problem. Yes, I know that you had your surgery performed in another country, and this is of course the main disadvantage of traveling out of the country for cosmetic surgery.
