My PS did not put surgical tape over the wounds of my BL and TT. He just advised me to clean it and put gauze over it and secure it with tape. I read a lot about placing tape over the wounds to help secure them and I did. But two days later I did not feel that the tape was on correctly and when I removed it from my breast the dissolvable stitches came right off. I am 14 days post op. Will this affect the healing and apperance of the wound? I'm concerned about removing the tape from the TT.
So I just got home a few days ago from where I had my mommy makeover. I'm just over the 2 week mark and feeling sick. I have a fever(101) that comes and goeS, body aches and chills, and a sore throat. Is this just a common cold caused from traveling or should I be concerned? I know I should consult with PS but I'm not sure how to reach her over the holiday weekend.

Had a mommy makeover 08/08/17, started walking upright by day 4, no discomfort at incision sights, but really bad back pain. Is there anything I can do to relieve this ongoing back pain? My doctor says foam, which I have ordered, but is there anything I can do until my foam comes in the mail?
When I read questions on real self about marijuana, it's always about smoking it. I'm curious about vaping it? Not oils or concentrates. Actual marijuana plant. I have a device that heats the weed. It does not light it on fire. There is no combustion involved. The vaping device I use eliminates 95% of smoke. Therefor, you are not inhaling carbon monoxide. Times have changed and technology has advanced. Any studies or research on this topic? I'm tired of these opiates and I'm still sore.
had a MMO 2 wks ago in Miami I'm from Colorado I was sent home with one drain and my doctor said I could take it out myself when I drain less than 25cc I feel like I have been draining less I haven't been on top of measuring my drains everyday but it has been a little below the 25cc line just want to know if its dangerous to keep the drain in for more than 2 weeks and if its normal to be sent home and be told to take drain out myself or should I go to the emergency room so they can pull it out?

2 weeks post-op. Hi. Im concerned about the enlargement of my areola, bad burn to the inside of my knee, nipples dont look realigned, tummy scar looks like my stomach is ledged upon it. Swelling going down slowly but Im concerned my tummy actually looks fatter and is going to hang more than pre op. Its tricky because I am in the uk and my surgeon is in Greece so I feel quite alone. Ive told none of my family Ive had this work done so Im feeling quite isolated and concerned. My PS is on call on WhatsApp
The last couple of days the skin on my abdomen feels like it is on fire. There is no rash and doesnt itch, just burns and hurts when I walk. I dont know if this is normal or what I can do to relieve the pain.
