doing wet to dry dressings every 3 hours. The pain is ridiculous. It feels like my breast is falling out. My PS says it looks great and is healing fine. No infection PS says so that's fantastic. Why should it hurt so bad
Answer: Necrotic tissue needs to be debrided This is not a reaction to the surgical glue. It is vascular compromise that resulted in skin death. It is healing by granulation tissue (the red tissue). Anything that is black still needs to be debrided. It is goon to leave a scar which will improve over time but will never be like the other side. It is an unfortunate problem that is most commonly associated with smoking. If you are not a smoker, then it was just a unfortunate outcome. Nothing topically will relieve the pain. I would suggest just continuing the dressing changes. You will need narcotics to relieve the pain until the area is closed.

Answer: Pain So sorry to hear about your difficulties. You have lost some skin, probably not from the glue, and will take time to heal. You might ask your surgeon about prescribing some topical numbing cream like Lidocaine. You still have some necrotic tissue, but the red tissue is healing. Please keep all your follow up visits with your surgeon.

Answer: Partial skin loss From your photos, you appear to have a partial loss of skin usually due to vascular insufficiency of the breast skin. There are many prescribed treatment regimens to allow this skin to heal in the best fashion. One of the principles of healing is to keep the area moist. It also helps to remove some of the exudate every day. The pain you're experiencing is from not having an outside layer of skin. Ask your plastic surgeon if barrier type dressings like flexan
