Hi I had a breast reduction on dec 21 2021, I am fully healed and feel fine I noticed two of my stitches were raised and when prodded/squeezed, white stuff would come out . I went to the doctor and she said its fine and to squeeze it out and gave me topical antibiotics. Its been about a month and theres still white stuff coming out of the stitches holes kind of like a pimple. they were dissolvable stiches. so im wondering is it fine or is something wrong thank you
Hi, for some reason yesterday the hole popped in my incision area and pus came out, then it started bleeding. I tried applying biocorneum cream on my incisions and on the hole too, however when I woke up today I noticed it's still bleeding. Is this normal? And can I do something about it?
I had a breast reduction 6 months ago and the scarring under my breasts look brown and patchy. Its the area where all the sutures would have been held together. I started out using scar stickies and then moved to silicone scar gel. Does this look normal? Or is it too early to tell?
Please help! This is my second breast reduction. I had my first 10 years ago and 6 months ago. I included an implant this time around. A couple of weeks after surgery i got a severe infection which took over a month to get rid of and left a huge scar. My question: i am now noticing one areola is red and lumpy and chipping away at the brown getting closer to the nipple. I have been treated by led light for the scarring and was wondering if its causing this or is it something that will go?
I had a breast reduction 6 months ago, I'm extremely happy with the results. However, I have noticed that I have developed 4 small skin tags at intervals, about 5mm under the lower breast scars, on my normal skin. I have been using silicone gel on my scars, could this have caused these skin tags to develop? Any other ideas? Just seems odd that I have four all just under the scar line. Thanks for any advice.
Im 6 months out and my scars are very red and raised. They started to look worse as opposed to better around 3 months. I dont have itching but experience sharp short pain in them sometimes. Ive spoke only to the nurse at my surgeons office and was recommended MEPITAC tape, should I be doing anything else are these keloid or going to get worse?
I heard that 6 months after a breast reduction is when the breast fully drops. I was wondering if my breast will continue to drop and look somewhat more symmetrical once its been a year. The difference just seems too drastic. Its really frustrating I was really looking forward to having more symmetrical breasts and I look almost as bad as I did before if Im stuck like this.
5 yrs ago I had a mastopexy w/ a 300cc implant placement after. I was a DD. 6 mo. ago, I decided to get a breast reduction but chose to keep my implants to retain that upper fullness. I immediately noticed post op that there was the appearance of a double bubble bs bad swelling. I had a Feeling it was my implants not swelling. The implants were not touched or moved during the reduction. Was the lift too high and that is where my Implants were always sitting? Or did they slip down from swelli
