Ive found a great doctor for my breast lift with implants. I love everything but she takes the tape off the incisions after one week. And Ive seen on here and also studies that show ongoing taping for at least 6 weeks helps the incisions and can result in flatter scars. Im not sure how to bring this up
I got implants with breast lift I am 2 weeks post op. My dr. Has left the tapes on and are supposed to be removed this week. I have been noticing a slight smell on my right boob, today I saw it was leaking some fluid / dark maybe serous sanguineous seems to be. I cant see what it is because there is tape covering it. I called my dr. Right away and I am seeing him tomorrow , but he mentioned it sounds like fat necrosis. I dont know what to expect can someone explain
I had a lift with 200 cc saline implant 15 days ago. I visited my PS yesterday bc I had concerns of fluid. He said I was fine. Did not remove my tape. Today, I noticed very gross yellow puss leaking through tape. Remove it to find raw skin. And 2 clear stitches poking out. PS didn't seem concerned, told me to clean and dry it. He also said to grab stitches with tweezers and pull and clip. I clipped but when I tried to remove them they were stuck and I began to bleed, no antibiotics. What 2do??
I am 7wekks post op. I am still fully taped. 52yrs old. Watching TV tonight I felt an ouch. Touched my left boob and thought oh that's wet.... had a look and thought my tape has come off and taken skin or I have had something rubbing on it today and it was a blister that popped. Not quite sure what sort of creams, dressings I should use. Any ideas? I hope someone reads this. Thanks.
So I just did as instructed by my surgeon and took the tape off and I'm having concerns about the size of my areolas. I'm 17 days PO with Benelli lift and silicon implants. Now I know that I did have pretty significant asymmetry to start with, but I'm worried that it will look very different after the final results. Am I going to be stuck with very different looking areolas or will they become closer in shape overtime? Please help!
I went out of state for my breast lift and 450cc implants. I think everything looks and feels normal so far. But when should I remove the gauges and tape? I think the doctor said remove bandages from nipples after 5 days and remove bandages from anchor incisions after 10 days, but what if they're not ready to just be opened? And if they are do I just continue to wear the sports bra and do nothing else?
I had breast augmentation and a lift 2 weeks ago. My doctor will be on vacation for a month, so I won't be able to see him until September. The tape over my incisions for my cut under my breasts has come off and the incisions look great. When can I remove the tape around my aerolas and the vertical cut? They don't show any signs of peeling up. Should I wait until it starts to peel or is 2 weeks long enough?
I chose a doctor in Fl and live in WV. He won't return calls or provide follow up. No local PS will see me. I've followed up with my GP. I have had redness under breasts for 2 weeks. I'm 6 weeks s/p bl w/ aug. 2 weeks of bactrim in case it was cellulitis w/ no change. WBC and sed rate are normal. Breasts are soft, no pain, no edema, incisions healing. Tape off for a month. Could this be a suture reaction? If so, how long does it take for them to dissolve? I'm an ICU nurse, any help appreciated!
