I cleaned and put gauze on it . Is this normal? Since then I have made a appt to go see my doctor just to get it checked out . Will it now take longer to scab back over ? Is there now a risk of infection since the scab came off ?
Hello! I had a crescent breast lift and breast augmentation about 3 weeks ago. Per my PS instructions , I took off the steri strips about a week ago. And I clean the wound doing the following: clean gloves and clean cotton balls/pads I use witch hazel, followed by hydrogen peroxide and then gently apply Neosporin. I wear cotton support bras to let the wound breathe but when I go to work , I place a little cotton pad between my nipples and the bra. Am I causing the little hole? What could it be?
Down significantly since I had my sutures and Staples out 4 days ago. My PS has advised me to keep it as clean and dry as possible. I just finished antibiotics 2 days ago. Does this look like it is healing normally? He said we will keep an eye on it for the next week while I'm off antibiotics, to see if it becomes infected. I am of course trying to avoid this at all costs. Any advice? There are no signs of infection, as far as I can tell, as of right now
I took the rest of my tapes off today because they have been very irritating and itchy and when I woke up I had some drainage that I have not previously had. I now realized that it was a blister that formed under the steri strips. I am not sure if I should keep it clean and dry or if I should put neosporin on it? I am also wondering if it will heal the same color as my areola as it was before the blistering or darker or lighter?
I had an uplift (anchor incisions) with implants. I am 2 weeks post op and I have developed this small hole at the T junction. Everywhere else is healing well. I have been given antibiotics and advised to keep it clean and wait for it to heal by my surgeon. He doesn't seem concerned and said it should heal itself. However, I am very scared and anxious because I know that if the implant becomes visible then I will have to have it removed.
I had a scar revision by excision 10 days ago. the stitches were removed after 7 days. last night i must have rolled onto my stomach in my sleep and the lower part of the incision re-opened. the steri strip was bloody and i had a few drops of blood seep through my bra. i removed the steri strip and cleaned around the area with alcohol, it isnt bleeding. then i tried re-steri strip the wound closed but i couldnt get it completely closed. do i need to have this re-stitched?
I've recently had a breast augumentation and lolli-pop lift. I am 5 weeks post op and I have blisters forming around my nipple. The blisters have popped and white & yellowery pus has come out. They have started to heal and a scab has formed but I can still see white pus on underneath, like it's ready to pop again. A few have! I have asked my surgeon for this opinion and he has told me to keep the areas clean by using an antiseptic liquid and cream, and reguarly change my dressings once a day.
