Its been 2 weeks since my surgery. I noticed that my left areola was heavily scabbed. Didnt think much of it until the scabs started to come off. My surgeon advised to apply bacitracin with a non stick gauze. Im just concerned that onces its healed there will be a huge difference in pigment.
I have drain currently in both sides, they're rather uncomfortable and while the left side appears to be draining just fine and has turned to a clear yellow color, as my doctor said it would, the right has been continuously draining a thick red for the past few days. That side is also swollen a bit more, but its not overly noticeable. I would ask my doctor about this but his office assistant said he would be out of the office for the next few days and id like an answer sooner than later.
Its been a month since my breast reduction surgery. Three weeks into the surgery, I noticed fluid coming out on the under breast area. There seems to be a small opening and there was some bruising or discoloration around it as well. After seeing my PS, he said its fat necrosis and it will heal on its own. Although its gotten slightly better since my last appt, Ive been worried about this and was wondering if there was anything I could do or take to quicken the healing process?
Hi there. Thanks in advance for any help. I am 2 weeks post op, from a 34G/H, now hopefully a small 34C. have two concerns: 1. The black color on my nipples? Especially the right one, really dark. 2. Today my lower left breast had some irritation, and slight dark discoloration toward the bottom. The side toward my armpit is especially sore, tender, and firm in comparison to the other breast. Im 2 days from my period so I wanna hope its hormones but why only one breast?
Post BR 3.5 months. On my LUQ (directly on my side, about 4 below my furthest surgical incision, is a pinkish discoloration and a palpable lump. Has been there for 6 weeks. Breast doc said she felt it was unrelated to surgery. Primary care doc had an US and CT done. CT report says peripherally calcified nodule in left flank which could have been a hematoma. Is this a) a big deal?; b) likely from drainage post-surgery? And is there anything I need to do about it? PC doc seems unknowledgeable.
Hi I've been in bed with the flu for the past couple of days and haven't been as observant as usual. I had a breast reduction over 5 weeks ago and tonight I noticed that my right nipple and aereola seem to be going purple compared to my left. I have been wearing a bandeau so maybe it cut off the circulation? Should I be worried?
Hoping to get some insight before my appointment but I will also contact my ps. I am 7 days post op from a breast reduction. I just noticed some yellowing of the areola and paleness of pigmentation. Had bruising post op but turned yellow 3-4 after and PS said nothing about any complications during appointment. I have sensation and the nipple itself appears pink/red when touched. I do not smoke/ no discharge or bleeding since operation day.
