Spitting stitches at almost 5 weeks post
WORTH IT$18,000
Yesterday I noticed what appeared to be a blood blister on the underside of my right breast. When I got out of the shower I saw some pink drainage on my towel. When I looked at my incision I saw a little hole where the blood blister place had been. I was totally freaked out! I called my PS and he didn’t seem too worried. I’m putting gauze and Bacitracin to the open area three times per day (as directed) and I am going on for a follow up tomorrow.
From what I understand, spitting stitches” is a pretty common thing, but I honestly was not prepared for it. I was supposed to be going on a beach vacation with my family as extended family, but I am thinking I will be forgoing the trip. I cannot sit and swelter on the beach for a week in July and not be able to swim. I am feeling pretty disappointed that I am missing a major family event (and being out some serious cash as a result). I wish that I had been informed that there was a likelihood (common place) that I would continue to have open wounds on a long-term basis. I’ve read where people have these spitting stitches for up to a year after surgery.
My post-op instructions said no swimming for 6 weeks, but it looks like that’s not happening for me.

My scars are looking a little more red this week but still looking good. I’ve started using Silagen, as per my PS’s post op protocol.

Today I finally got the staples and steri-strips taken off and I am pretty excited about my results. I feel great. Still having occasional discomfort but I don’t even need to take Tylenol. I am hoping to start some light cardio with a very supportive sports bra!!
