I had a breast augmentation w/ mastopexy done in March 2015 (anchor incision). I had internal stitches done and I find I am still getting pockets of fluid build up in spots. I feel that the stitches still haven't dissolved in some spots and are creating pockets of fluid. My scars in some spots are getting more red. And now I have weird round scars in spots down my incisions and around my areola where my stitches have spit. I just started using silicone scar strips hoping that might help. Any ideas?
I had this procedure in Jan, and overall my healing went very well. I was briefly on antibiotics due to a POSSIBLE infection but I have since finish that prescription and over all I feel fine. The redness in my left breast however (the one which has the implant & lift), hasn't been reduced by much even in these 2 months - right was implant only. What I want to know is if this could in any way be normal? I have an appointment in 2 weeks & would prefer not to have to travel if not necessary.
I had breast augmentation/lift 11 weeks ago. The incisions keep re-opening. I also have redness and tenderness around my nipples and have had a few stitch abscess removed in that area. My doctor says Im just sensitive to the stitches and nothing is a major concern and could take up to a year to heal.Is this something I should be concerned about? Do my breasts look infected? Will my scars be more evident since they keep re-opening?
46 years old. Had breast lift with 320cc smooth Mentor high profile implants above the muscle on 3/1/19. Recovery has been great, little to no pain. Im early in recovery but I am so pleased already. My concern is that my left breast has an occasional localized dull burning sensation and feels warm to the touch, and skin appears to be more red. I do not have my first post op check until next week. No swelling evident, its not constant, just very concerned. I added a photo of the spot.
Is the redness around the nipples normal 4 weeks post op lift/implants?It feels like they are very chafed. I have to take my bra off at times bc they feel irritated.The skin on my nipples have been peeling over the last couple weeks. I know I had some compromised blood issues (Black area).I have noticed some areas on my nipples that seem to have lost color. It just looks skin toned. Will that come back? My anchor scars are slightly raised. Is that ok? Havent stared silicone scar gel yet.
I had a breast lift with 250cc implant 11 wks ago then yesterday I had what looked like yellowish puss come out of a small area along the incision. I showered as normal & today the inside of my bra has blood & puss on it, the wound looks larger & Im concerned. I did have 2 spitting stitches that healed on their own but there wasnt this amount of leakage. No pain, no smell but there is some redness around the area. This is just under the nipple where the incisions meet. Is this worrisome?
5 wk PO: I have 1 obvious spitting stitch with triangular scab at my T-junction. No drainage, heat, or redness. I also have 2 v tiny stitches I can feel. Sometimes I think the one sucks back in because sometimes when I look for it I cant find it....then later, itll be back. Is there some type of treatment I can apply at home? Or should I call my PS in the am? I can reach or see my T-junction. hate to think they can poke through & go back in at random, possibly pulling in microbes.
It opened today, pus was yellowish green and blood followed. My PS out of state said to treat it like a pimple and squeeze the pus out and wash with soap and water. There is redness and pain when pressed, should I be on antibiotics?
I had a breast lift with implants 650 cc each side anchor incisions I also have intense itching is that healing? Also I was wondering why 650cc are not large. And last my breasts are pointy and seem uneven will this resolve?
