Explant/Capsulectomy with Lift; NO Replacements EVER!!! - Albuquerque, NM

I was in a 3 day depression over this rash ordeal. I then got over the depression and had been in a frustrated state because of limitations . As soon as I realized that I was getting worse, I stopped using the steroid ointment. I decided to stop my anxious mind and listen to my body and back track on what was happening to me. I looked up the side effects of the steroid ointment prescribed and boy am I glad I did. I stopped on the 4th day on the ointment because of the horrible side effects. The side effects I was having; discoloration of skin applied to and peeling of skin, more rash that ended up on my buttocks and labia area (worst parts other than breasts), headache, muscle pain and weakness on my legs, and blurry vision. Luckily these side effects went away in about 3 days after I stopped the ointment. The day I stopped, I started using aloe Vera meaty leaves cut apart and placed them on my breasts at night while i slept with them with pads over them since they are pretty moist. In the morning I would throw them away and shower and use coconut oil on my breasts and they are getting better. I was unfortunate to have this happen on Labor Day weekend and it was hard to get my PS or any doctor to see me. I will post pics of my breasts on how they are looking. Even with all this going on I LOVE MY BREASTS!! I do finally see my PS tomorrow Saturday. I want to thank you ladies for taking time to ask me how I am doing. I truly appreciate it!! I will take new pictures tomorrow since I am laying here with my aloe Vera plants already placed on me.

I woke up on day 4 post op with a rash around my steri strips. I had more on my left breast than the right. I called doctors office and spoke to nurse who said she would see me next day. The next day which was day 5 post op, the nurse took out my rubber drains and prescribed me a steroid ointment to apply to rash area. She did not remove my steri strips at this time. She said to call her if it got worse. I did as I was told and applied the ointment and iceing 3 times a day and Benadryl 3 times a day. Day 6 oozing started and I called and spoke to nurse and was told to take steri strips off. So I did and it was nerve wreaking because I was afraid to do damage to my incisions. The rash was much worse looking after I was able to see what was under the steri strips. Once off I washed my breasts well with dial soap and applied ointment and gauze over my breasts. Day 7 now and the itching and ooze still happening. Have any of you girls have this happen to you? If so what helped and how long did the rash last?

Hello ladies, today is day 3 post op for me and I took a wonderful shower. Yesterday I had a low grade fever most of the day without realizing it. My hubby noticed I was warm. He took my temperature and followed the post op info the doctor gave us. I ate a Popsicle and put an ice pack on the back of my mech and forehead and ibuprofen. I was good within an hour.
Today I feel better and I am only taking ibuprofen, muscle relaxer, and my antibiotics.
I am not a back sleeper and I keep waking up at night. Patience I say. I am using a bandage to hold my pads in place for the rubber drains to drain better.
