I got a breast reduction done 2 months ago and I thought it was going well until I went for my post op & found out that I had open area. Immediately, I was confused, lost and depressed. I went from being a nurse to being disabled person in minutes and couldn't care for my self. Would it ever heal? Is this medical malpractice? If I go through another surgery what are the chances of positive result? Does this happen because of contamination & not following sterol procedure? Thank you!
