I underwent breast augmentation surgery 7 months ago with polyurethane implants. The recovery went well and the breast were looking great, but in february a foreign body (a gauze) was discovered on ultrasound so I underwent another surgery to remove the gauze. My surgeon removed the polyurethane coating before reinserting the implant. Now (2 months after ) my right breast is looking different, is lower than the left one and the implant is moving. Can I hope for a symmetrical look over time?
I was advised to take the tape off of my incisions on the crease and one of them started bleeding in a corner. It looks like it's still open. I washed it with antibacterial soap and put a gauze on it but I am freaking out because that should be closed by now and I'm afraid of infection. I called the doc but I'm still waiting for him to get back to me. Please help!
I asked my nurse if this is infected or maybe i need antibiotics for this but she has assured me itll close on its own.I do air fruit with a blow dryer on low after every shower, and when Im done I tape gauze over it. She didnt instruct me to apply any type of ointment so I havent been applying anything to it. I had 560cc to both my right and left breast. I hope it doesnt have anything to do with the size ?
I'm concerned about the raised appearance . It's very hot and humid where I live and I'm constantly sweating in the bra . I was told to put gauze and tape but the dressing is always spotted with red or yellow . Should I be concerned ? I'm 10 days post op .
My incision tore in the junction under my right breast after an anchor lift. Surgery was done on Aug2 and the tear developed a few weeks after. I have been keeping the wound moist with aquaphore and occasionally applying gentamicin. I use gauze or a folded maxi pad to cover the wound, bc my skin is sensitive to adhesives. Does it appear to be healing just fine or should I be concerned about the yellow discharge/mucus residue left behind? Is this present bc of an infection or bc I keep it moist?
I have a hole under both breasts. Both are leaking yellow thick puss. Could my implants be exposed? necrosis? I'm 4 weeks post op. I'm treating it 2x daily with SSD and applying gauze. Breasts are sore and the openings hurt. Please help! Thank you in advance!
I had my ba 7 days ago and I am released to shower today. My doctor put me in a compression bra during my follow up and told me to remove the gauze and yellow tape over my stitches before I shower. I am reading a lot of places say not to remove the yellow tape. I just don't want to mess anything up. Please help!
I bought what appeared to be tape to put on gauze so it would stick to my breast. After using it for 2 days I developed a rash and what appeared to be scabs formed from skin peeled off. After the scabs have healed more I've noticed the right breast is also have some residue and it is the residue from the tape that is acctually still on me breast. What can I used to get it off without scrubbing off my sensitive skin???
Two weeks ago, had incision on my breast reopened, cleaned out, dead skin removed and restitched as was not healing properly. Yesterday, dr removed steri-strips and revealed a hole. Dr noted it's pink inside and no signs of implant. Decided not to restitch for the 3rd time to not aggravate it even more. Steri-strips applied to give support. I am packing with gauze and bacitracin zinc ointment. I seem to have seen this a lot here on this site. Is it normal? Will it cause more of a scar?
