I'm 19 days post op and my nipple is discolored and I have an infection in all my incisions. I had thr surgery done out of state and cant see my surgeon.. any advice? I've been washing with dial and using triple antibiotic
I am 7 months post breast lift, followed all my surgeons instructions regarding scar care. I stopped massage the scars about a month ago as I thought the discolouration could be due to a haematoma or something, but it hasnt got better
I had a breast lift/augmentation Aug 2017, and just wondering why there is a portion of much darker skin right under my areola. I'm hoping that this is actually a scar and not a portion of my areola that was sutured in a weird way, since it seems to be the same color as my areola...I have been putting silicone strips/scar cream on the area, but it hasn't seemed to lightened much. Just wanted an opinion on why it looks the way it does. Any recommendations for scar treatment would also be great.
Hi, after a breast lift my nipple turned black on the outer part of it. Eventually the black scab came off leaving my nipple pink. I have some color coming back in different areas I was just wondering how long does it take for the nipple to get some color. It has been five weeks since my surgery.
I had a lollipop breast lift w/ areola reduction & implants 3 months ago. I know it takes months for scars to settle, however I am having 3 issues: 1) The scarring isn't looking as great or as round on one breast. Isn't this fixable? 2) There is a discoloration of my skin on both breasts right underneath the areolas that looks the same color as my areola. Why did this occur, and can it be fixed? 3) The incision at the bottom of my breasts keeps opening up and oozing (2nd picture). What can I do?
I had surgery 2 weeks ago my right nipple is fine. My left nipple came out purple now it is starting to get color but still has dark spots. My surgeon says it will heal but it will take a few months. That the nipple blistered and thats why it is still dark. It just does not look right to me. Am I going to have horrible scars after this? Does this look okay to you?
First sorry i dont speak english very well :( hope you understand my Q I am planning to have breast lift, but i dont want Any discoloration or visible scars, so i knew that permanent make up can cover the scars and the discoloration slightly, and my question is ( is it possible to do permanent makeup after i recover from the surgery ( like after one or two months ) ) and if not why !
6 weeks post op for breast lift. To date all has been well. Left nipple now has a vertical strip approx 3mm wide running down along the inside section that has lost colour (turned white) and hardened. The Suture line looks healthy. Is this normal or cause for concern?
I had a breast lift on May 14, 2014 and my one breast did not heal as well as expected. My PS tells me to keep putting Neosporin and gauze on the opening and it will take 2-3 months for the skin to grow back. He explained that the skin will be discolored and there will be more scarring than I may like which can be fixed at a later date if I wish. My question is, based on the attached picture, will my skin grow back and close the area? How long will this take? (non smoker).
