Answer: Wet to dry q3h. How long will I have to do the wet to dry dressings? It hurts getting them off and changing them I'm sorry to hear/see the complication you are experiencing. These complications can be quite distressing to both patients and their plastic surgeons, especially if there is a underlying breast implant present. I'm glad to hear that you see your plastic surgeon frequently. Ultimately, he/she will be your best guide when it comes to discontinuing the wet to dry dressing changes. Generally, these types of dressing changes are discontinued once wounds are clean and no longer in need of "debridement". Best wishes for a speedy healing and an outcome that you will be pleased with longer-term.
