I had transferred to my breast on Monday. I went to my post op appt on Friday and we noticed some redness. The plastic surgeon said to watch it and prescribed me more of the antibiotics for another week. It doesnt hurt and I do not have a fever. God forbid it is an infection what will have to happen?
How about white incision scars? I had fat grafting and my thighs have several rather large pokes from cannulas, also white scars from stitches on breasts. From my last grafting experience pokes stayed red for longer than 6 months. White scars still have redness around them after 10 months. This time the doctor didn't close the pokes with stitches, and I worry that in addition to being red they might not close up cleanly. What can I do at home? Who is best to consult in NYC that has all necessary lasers for what I need?
Breast fat transfer 3.5 weeks ago. Scar tissue from previous implants was released. On 1 side 1.5 weeks ago, I developed redness & hard skin, got antibiotics again & blood was aspirated twice. Pain became severe so yesterday, I got a surgical drain. I feel something that feels like a worm in the top half perimeter of breast. It feels disgusting. Is it coagulated blood? How will it go away? Should I ask my PS or another dr to remove the drain as soon as nothing drips for 24h, to lose less fat?
Hi I had fat transfer from my love handles to my breasts about 10 days ago, I have very red patches, which feel hard. I contacted my surgeon asking if I have an infection, but I don't have a fever so he said it's just part of the recovery. It's been 4 days of redness and it's still not fading.
Had fat transfer to breasts problem w/1. 400cc injected as per PS. Week after surgery,had pain put me on 2 antibiotics due to mastitis. He extracted ~100cc in two sesions and 2 wks all drained out,What could be done about this, now they are lopsided (C in one,A in other) w/huge scar/hole/redness in the other. What could have really caused this other than injected too much causing cells to die; all liquified/oozed out, Anyone have this experience/suggestion?I can't afford another surgery,feel handicapped
