Concerning

So I finally got to a point where the underlying car is beginning to heal. However now I feel like I’m beginning to get rash on my boobs.

Thanks for your progress pics and updates very helpful. I’m only a few days out. You are a little red have but they look great!! have you reached out to your surgeon?
Yes I called them today, hoping to get an answer but thanks love
keep us posted wishing you well and a good recovery!!
Glad to hear your healing is going well. How are you feeling? I may have missed it -- What ointment are you using on your incisions?
No problem love, I’m feeling amazing no pain or irritation and I love the change in shape. Still not sure of my exact size. I have been using the Neosporin itch scar pain ointment. I’m going to stop using it though because of the redness until i speak with my surgeon. However it did help minimize the scars.
So happy for you! What insurance do you have ?
Did you get feeling back in your breast and nipples? I got mine done my scars are raised a bit sitting perfectly but i have no feeling in my breast my right nipple has some feeling about an 8 out 10 and my left is like a 3 out 10.

Nurses told me because blood wouldn’t be flowing as much as it needed to underneath my breast where the incision was that I may experience it open. My right boob did exactly that. I really wish I would of started applying the ointment much sooner. My left boob is almost healed completely. I’m still wearing sports bras and gauze to prevent the opening from getting infected. Everytime I think it’s beginning to heal it opens smh jus my luck. Suppose I just have to let my body heal on its own and keep using the ointment. I use it once after a morning shower and then when I get home around 8pm.

Your surgeon should have closed that up. Your young enough to heal quickly and if your not doing that that’s Surgeons error. Had a friend who was left with an opening and her Surgeon corrected it post op out patient.
