I had Gynecomastia removal 14 months ago. Glandremoval and liposuction done under local anesthesia. The doctor and entire staff were great through the entire process. I had two hematomas (right side) which were drained and resulted in needing a scar revision on that same side at the 6mth post op mark. Im really disappointed in the end result and feel like I lost all of my chest definition. It looks pretty obvious that I was operated on and Im less confident now without a shirt than before.
Hi I'm about 2 weeks post gynecomastia surgery and my doctor determined that I have a hematoma due to an impact I suffered by someone elbowing me at an amusement park. He says I need to wait 6-8 weeks to let my body break down the hardened blood that has accumulated under the nipple. The he will attempt to aspirate the broken down fluid. I've read that surgery is the only way to get the hematoma out. Is my surgeon right or should I have the hematoma surgically removed?
Dear Doctors, On the last July I did a fat injection surgery in my chest due to a hole. About three weeks ago the area swelled up and became red. I visited the surgeon twice and he drained the area. The first drainage was carried out last Monday and another drainage was carried out yesterday In addition I am treated with antibiotics twice a day amoxicillin 875mg. I'm a little worried. Is this normal?
I had gynecomastia surgery 6 weeks ago. After the drains were removed, I developed a seroma on one side. It was drained 5x, until my surgeon couldn't drain any more. I now have swelling on that side. It was told it could also be scar tissue, and I should massage it to help it go away. I have been, but it's been a week since then, and the swelling doesn't seem to have changed at all. It's worse at night. Is this normal after a seroma? When will it go away? I'm concerned a pseudobursa developed.
I had lipo on my chest, abs, and flanks. The only problem areas I have are my lateral chest and pubic area which have very similar firm, immobile, sore patches. My surgeon said that aggressive massage and kneading will help, but I am worried that could add to the inflammation. I've had 5 lymph drainage massages which are not too aggressive. Can this area turn to scar tissue? Could kenalog help? Is the compression garment (tank top) blocking the healing process (it digs in to this exact area)?
I cant raise my hand it's tight and painful is This abnormal? This procedure has turned into a nightmare.. From hematoma twice to removing the drain to early to putting it back in and it coming out after 5 days to this pain I'm feeling. Have a appointment Thursday but I wanna be seen sooner. It's a sharp pain.
