I had BR surgery 11 days ago and have been suffering from extreme itching for the last couple of days. My incisions look to be healing very nice. Most of the steri strips have come off underneath my breasts and it is red and bumpy where the tape strips were however, that is not the only areas that itch. Nothing appears to be infected. Could it be I have just developed a reaction to the adhesive? I have been taking benadryl (oral) every 4-6 hours which helps some. Anything else I could try?
Breast reduction 10 days ago. On day 2 large Hematoma developed on the side of breast and Spread to back. I was given a shot of blood thinner In the recovery room due to pulmonary embolism History. Dr thinks this caused hematoma. Jp drain is still in and pulling 3-4 tbls of what looks Like thick dirty motor oil . Drain site is very sore And slightly pink at opening.the black blood is about 2/3 gone But wondering if drain should still be left in. How long until hematoma heals? Very painful!!
I had a breast reduction 10 days ago and am feeling great. I was a 34G and suffered from back pain, headaches, carpal tunnel, the works. It has been a great relief to have the surgery done. That aside, how long should I feel swollen in my sides? I went to get measured for a sports bra to swap out with the surgical, and was measured at a 38D, when the doctor was aiming for a C. My guess is that I am super swollen, so just curious when I can expect this to subside.
Lft areola is tender with a dull ache w/ no trauma. After feeling wet, thr was a silver dollar sized blood stain on my bra. Becuz of the tape, Im not sure what is bleeding. I used gauze to clean w/hydrogen peroxide & took a shower. I added Neosporin and a band aid. Tht night the band aid had blood but was not soaked thru. I added more Neosporin and a new band aid. Is this normal for 10 days PostOp a BR? Should I be worried about a hematoma or broken stitches? Will this heal on its own?
Hi I am 10 days post Op after breast reduction and after 5 days my nipple started to go a kind of black colour and looked like dried blood, today after I showered the skin started to peel from my nipple revealing pink tissue, my surgeon said this is normal but Im just hoping I can get a second opinion as I am so worried that Im going to lose my nipple
Hi, I am 11 days post op from breast reduction and since the 4th or 5th day it has been oozing yellow puss it doesnt have a smell but I am still really worried that its infected my surgeon said it will be fine but I would just like a second opinion as I am very nervous about getting an infected
I just had breast reduction. Im 10 days post op. I noticed one of my areolas has darkened a lot. Almost black. Im worried if its dead or a scab?? Its really dry and peeling a bit. Also will my breast not look so boxy over time, will they fill out more or will they stay like this for good??
I underwent BR surgery on 5/10/18 and as soon as I was cleared to change my gauze and shower (about 2 days later), i noticed yellow discharge that wouldn't scab up. I keep dressing it and dressing it and now I am day 10 and it seems to be opening up. I have no fever, and it doesn't seem to be hot. Im not sure if it hurt due to being numb down there. Any thoughts?
