I had a breastlift 4 weeks ago. I have been walking outside since 5 days post op, adding a little distance weekly. Ive had no complications and have been healing well. Today I vacuumed and changed sheets on the bed. I showered and noticed new slight bruising on the outer side of one breast. It is a little painful. Should I be concerned? Or have I just overdone too soon? I had surgery in FL and am back in my home state so a recheck at the original surgeon is not an option, Thanks
I had a breast lift 5 weeks ago. All of my scars are healing well except the vertical ones. I asked my doctor and he said the brown stripes are from remaining areola tissue. He had mentioned this just before surgery, however I was not aware it would be so noticeable. What are the best ways to eliminate these brown stripes? How much would it cost? He mentioned 'trimming' them or a laser to lighten them. I would like other opinions and more details on options if possible. Thank you!
I am currently 5 weeks post op and am wondering whether a topical cream, silicone strips or scar massage is best to reduce the redness/raising of the scars? I was given biocorneum after surgery, however tried the Embrace strips as well. I didnt find them the most comfortable, but am wondering if they make a dramatic difference in the ultimate outcome (less redness/raised scars)? Or, will the topical & scar massage work just as well? Thanks!
Its been 26 days post op and Im so itchy and red, my scars pull too, my surgeons office said to start using the silicone tape on my scars, and since I started it I think Im developing a reaction to it??? My surgeon said itll take 6 months for full Results - any suggestions are appreciate! Thank you
I had a breast lift and implant 5 weeks ago. My right breast where all three incisions meet under the breast have become an open wound. The dr doesnt seem concerned. I havent had any fever so he assured me its not infected. He said its necrosis due to lack of blood supply. Question is is there any natural oil that can help speed up the healing of this spot (about the size of my tip of my pinky finger)?
Scab fell off nipple 3 weeks post breast lift op. I had a breast lift on my right side almost 4 weeks ago. I have been healing well and put silicone strips to the scars, but yesterday when I pulled the strip off the scab came off too! In the pic you can see that there was abit off puss and it had a bad odour to it. On same boob I also felt a lump towards my armpit but dr thinks its trauma from surgery. Maybe they're connected? Today, it doesnt look like theres and the nurse told me all looks fine but isnt pus a sign of infection?
I had a revision done in march. It started with a bruise on the side of my left nipple, then it opened up. It's now a big black hole and it keeps getting bigger. I have no feeling or erection. It looks like sand paper and it feels like a rough rubber. Will I lose my nipple?
Im 5 weeks almost 6 post op. I had lipo 360, breast lift and tummy tuck. I noticed some hard spots on my side and then inbetween my breast i have this lump they are all hard? I dont go back to the doctor until june 6th. Just wondering if i need to get in sooner. Also could this be swelling from after removing my binder or caused by having it too tight. I know im supose to start wearing it a little less. My doctor said no reason to wear it after 6 weeks.
