Im 4wpo and I noticed a couple days ago that my left breast seemed tight on one spot. I went to town on the massage worried of encapsulation. The next day I notice a red spot next to my Steri-Strips with some fluid. Ive consulted with my surgeons office and was instructed to remove the strip. I dont have a fever or any other signs of infection. The spot is a bit itchy though is it an infection? Is something like this common?
I am currently 3 weeks post op and my streri strips have come off. The doctor put dissolvable stitches in the incision and therefore do not need to be removed.I noticed that my incisions have dark areas that are bumpy and have some dry skin around it. Is this a scab/dried blood that has formed and part of a normal healing process? Or is it the stitches poking out?? Also, is it likely that an infection may be present? Any help would be appreciated!!
My PS said my steri strips from breast augmentation under the crease would fall off on its own in 2-3 weeks but they are stuck in there really good and I dont imagine they will fall off anytime soon. Is there an issue keeping them on longer ?
I visited Drs office today for my 2 weeks post-op follow up. Dr removed the steri strip (which it was intact) on the incision site and scab was also pulled off with the steri strip (like you can see in the picture, right side incision site is pink without scab). Im really concerned if this will make my incision scars look worse later because it was not come off naturally. And also Dr did not put anything on the incision site and it is now just dry and exposed. And if it is, what action should I take?
10 days post Op- 450 cc saline breast augmentation, under the boob. Bled through steri strip...However, my doctor just looked at them yesterday and said they looked great and that it was normal for a little bleeding but today the left one starting bleeding so much it went though the steri strip. Left a message at my doctors office but i'm freaked out! Should i be worried?
Going to see my PS this afternoon but anxious til then. Noticed over night after steri strips keep coming off as kept draining yellowy fluid (Which was told that normal) :) but now I have a line of yellowish (not draining) from my areola. And when steri strips came off, they must of ripped my skin and caused a sore ..
I had a BA 4 weeks ago, 450cc polytech under muscle. I took off steri strips for first time today. Barely any scabs. I was very gently cleansing one the scars with a soft warm wet face washer then suddenly I felt very nauseous and felt like I was about to faint. Is this normal? I wasnt feeling any discomfort whist cleansing.
I'm 10 days post op, 550cc silicone gel implants. I have been taking picture everyday so I can track my progress today I noticed a little more dryer blood on both steri strips. My doctor is 3 hours away and it's a Saturday. I probably over did it this past week. Can I take the steri strips off so incisions stay clean? Should I be worried?
I had 300cc placed under the muscle through inframammary incisions. I noticed my steristrips have accumulated more blood over the last couple days. Day 2 after surgery there was a small amount of redness visible on steristrips. It is now day 4 post op and there is even more blood visible. Is this normal or something I should be worried about? I was out and about for a few hours today so Im wondering if I over exerted myself too soon. I have included pictures of my incisions. Please let me know.
