Hello realself people I just wanted to update and put some pics. About 4 days after my surgery I had to go to see the doctor because one of my drains was not working after the drains where removed the tape or steri-strips were replaced however 2 days later I started to feel pain on my left breast and I had some drainage going on a yellow fluid I was very sore the tape turned yellow and I was afraid an infection was generating I took a shower and removed my tapes cleaned with an antibacterial soap and cotton balls dried very good and I did notice a small opening where the incisions meet so the doctor told me no worries if that happens we just put a bandaid on it and is exactly what I did. I purchase a post surgical tape (Mepitap) more for like scar treatment on amazon and let me tell you this works great I took some aleve for my soreness and replace my tape and feel sooooooo much better now!!! I was afraid to do so but it worked......What you guys think?

Congrats you look great
Thank you!!
Looks like you did a great job taping. I hope everything is healing up okay now.
Yes thank you! The tape gave me an allergy reaction had to remove it :-(
Hi There, I just wanted to see if you’re reaction to the silicone sheeting cleared up on it’s own? I have a similar reaction… just want to know if I need to seek treatment from my doctor? You’re breast reduction looks great! Please let me know Have a wonderful day!
