Asked By:Spurt00 in Sydney, AU

I am 7wekks post op. I am still fully taped. 52yrs old. Watching TV tonight I felt an ouch. Touched my left boob and thought oh that's wet.... had a look and thought my tape has come off and taken skin or I have had something rubbing on it today and it was a blister that popped. Not quite sure what sort of creams, dressings I should use. Any ideas? I hope someone reads this. Thanks.

Is it normal one implant dropped before the other?
R. Laurence Berkowitz, MD says:

Not only is this normal it is more often the case than not with smooth round devices.  The two halves of the human body are not mirror images and will respond to surgery with disparate amounts of pain, wound healing, and muscle relaxation. 6 to 12 weeks will make a big difference in most cases.
