WORTH IT
**New Question**
So I've been getting my dressings changed regular and am still healing slowly, however I've been talking some with my doctor about having another surgery in about a year to aid in the scarring due to my wound separation. Has anyone else had wound separation and how did it heal afterwards? Please leave me a comment I'd like to check out before and after pictures if possible, feeling alone and just want to know how this may look in the end!

As as. I write this, I sit in the plastic office, a very frustrated girl. I have open wounds that now require daily wound dressing changes and the possibility of corrective surgery. I am feeling so frustrated and alone. My hubby has been incredible in taking care of me and aiding the frustrations I have, I don't know where I'd be without him. I was supposed to have nurses come into my home on the weekend to change my dressings and low and behold, my paper work never got sent so I had no one come, having to wait until monday to have these changed. Having wounds packed makes me want to nearly throw up. I hope none of you have to experience this. I am doing my best to stay positive but it is proving to be difficult when I am feeling so weak and tired from the infection and open wounds. Despite that, I still believe in my plastic surgeon and know he will take care of me . I just wish this would end

I hope things start looking up for you, and you start healing up. I am nervous this will happen to me, as I had almost no drainage after surgery but am very swollen... It's got to come out somewhere, right?! But like you, I believe in my PS and know he will know what is best for me along the way. Keep your head up!

***question***
Okay ladies!!! I have a question!! I didn't have drains put in after surgery and had lollipop incisions, 2 weeks after my surgery (now) oone of my incisions is leaking, it started 2 days ago and is still draining a small amount, it looks to be an orangeish red color. It does not smell at all and the wound does not look green or yellow or really red. Help? Is it normal to have drainage after 2 weeks and not really having any before??

I have read in some other reviews that women have had drainage that late but I would still call your doctor just in case he wants to see you. Good luck!

From what I understand it is normal BUT I would def get it looked at as your Dr may need to drain so that your incision line does not go POP!!!
Keep an eye on the fluid and the smell. I would make sure you are keeping the area extra clean and as dry as possible. I would always gently very gently massage the breast and any extra fluid if there is should seep out.
It may be a stitch that has cause it all so also gently rub the surface to see if you feel a stitch somewhere. If you do gently tug and you will probably find a knot that your body could not or did not want to absorb.
Keep us posted!
