Post Reduction Breast Necrosis (And Hematoma)
I had a breast reduction 3 years ago and was extremely disappointed with the results, as my cup size did not change at all (DD). I decided to undergo another reduction last month with a different doctor. The size is much smaller now and the shape looks good.
However, I am dealing with a necrosis that turned into a black hole, then moldy and smelly, and now is a mixture of black and yellow. It is not changing much and it's been 5 weeks now. My doctor said he prefers to let it heal alone and said to keep putting silver sulfadiazine twice a day. I'm worried it will leave a hole in my breast.
I also had hematoma in the other breast that kept bleeding out for 4 weeks non stop and his reaction was to let it bleed out. It's now also forming a little hole that looks like the start of a necrosis.
Will necrosis completely heal on its own? How long does it usually take? Should I get another opinion? Is it normal to have both complications post reduction? The doctor is super nice but not very convincing and his wait and see approach is starting to make me very nervous.
Would love to hear your thoughts.

I Wish All Doctors Were Like Him.
I've never met a doctor so genuinely caring and attentive with patients like dr. Hayek. After reading the incredible reviews on this site, I decided to do my (second) breast reduction with him in Beirut. We had a virtual consultation first where he explained to me how he would approach my surgery given he's fixing another surgeon's work, detailed all the info I could need, etc.. he's extremely nice and approachable, and knows how to make a patient comfortable. He understood my concerns perfectly. The surgery was super smooth and I'm recovering surprisingly quickly (I was dressed and out on day 3!). It's hard to comment on the results right now as I'm only 7 days post surgery but I have to say I am in awe of dr. Hayek's consistent follow ups. He checks in on me every day and follows up on every single thing I might've mentioned the day before. He's truly incredible. He is always directly reachable and insists i get in touch any time with any concern big or small. I wish all doctors had this level of care and genuine concern towards their patients. I highly highly recommend him.
