Hello! So I am 4 weeks post op breast reduction, no drains were used. I had dissolvable stitches and the dermabond and gauze strips have come off. I know for the first week or so I was advised not to get the glue and strips soaked or to let the direct spray hit them. Now all that's gone and I'm hanging free. Incisions look fine. Can I turn around now and let the water hit my chest? Or should I wait a bit longer?
I had a breast reduction done on 06/20, No drains. I was a 34DDD, about 1 lb removed from each breast. I was told I have very dense breasts. Post op I'm a 34DD (all of my old 34DD bras fit). My back still hurts. My PS said he was going for a C cup & I don't see the swelling going down 2 cup sizes. There's barely any redness or discoloration. I don't want to be a DD or D cup at all! I spent most of my life a C cup even with weight loss or gain (5'5/107-130 lbs) until 23 when they grew. I'm 26.
Does this look infected? Breast reduction on June 13. 900 grams (& change) removed from left and 1000 on right. No drains placed. Yellow oozing at both T spots. Put neosporian on it for the 1st time today. Wash daily with non-fragrance soap. About a half-a-dimes worth at most. Stitches coming out at nipple, no pain, but does it slow down healing? Do the t spots look too red/infected? Next app. July 13. Should I clean them with something else?
No drains were placed. At 2wks I had lots of tension, blisters & necrosis on 1 breast. Breast now has a painful burning sensation at the base of the T incision when I touch, stand straight or lay flat. I can palpate 2 painful bands on my abdomin that connect to the necrosis areas. Dr. injected a steroid into the area & I've felt little relief so far. He says nerves could be scarred. Is this fixable? Are internal sutures causing the burning tension? I'll mark where the painful bands are in pic.
