Double mast. 2009, tissue exp. 6 mths radio L breast. 12 mths perm implants 3 mths nipples grafted, 9 mths severe contract implant migrated 2 armpit. Replaced @ 3 mths -infection. 2 years pain skin thin, tight - Dorsi flap surgery 4 softness excess skin 4 stretching. Hematoma @ surgery emergency replaced. Now L side v tight pain on breath & touch. Scar itchy & turned keloid. I lower my arm it hits implant feels bruised inside. Arm lifts only 80% tight shoulder trap muscles contracted.
Surgery was 18days ago. It has a minor foul odor & this is as clean as I could get it. The nurse told me to have Vaseline on it with a non stick gauze pad & switch it twice a day after washing it with mild soap. It's getting a bit itchi, but my doc is 10 hrs away, just wanted to know if I should contact him asap. Any advice???
My mom had breast cancer may 2015, mascetomy June 2015, reconstructive surgery November 2015 and then December got an infection, was put in the hospital for 3 days for iv fluids. Her boob is red from the middle towards the bottom. No fever, but itchy. This has been a couple days now. I left a message for PS office to get in the am.
no infection and swab was normal, if I am allergic to the silicone implant if I have it removed will my thin skin be able to heal I don't want to end up with gaping holes, I had mascetomy with reconstruction, this has been 3 months with not much improvement with steroid creams am at a loss what to do.
