Finally healed except for the scar
WORTH IT$15,000
I'm so happy that my wound is healing well. I think the saline water and alternating with aquarphor and neosporin has helped alot. The skin has filled in and the is almost no weeping except occasionally a tiny bit now. Last night was the first night I've slept both without a bra and without bandages of any sort, it felt so good. My ps has said he will do a scar revision again later down the road, unfortunately I can tell I will need it on both sides to make sure there is no asymmetry. But if this scar fades enough I might just leave it up til I have to replace the implants a decade from now. Depends on how the scar looks next spring. But I'm so happy with my results so far now that it's healing. I'm just over 2 more the post op and I have almost 10 pounds to lose but I'm excited to see how I'll look once I get those lbs off because I already like my shape from the contouring :)

Wound is finally healing
So I'm almost 8 weeks post op from my surgery and about 3 weeks from my wound closure/scar revision that opened back up. I'm so happy to say that it's finally closing and looks alot shallower than before. I don't have pictures onot here of when it was at its worst but there are plenty of bad ones. I'll be so glad when it's healed. At this point I don't even care about the scar. I'm sure I will want to have it revised down the road but for now I just want it all closed and healed an healthy.

Glad to hear you're on the mend. Did your PS give any reason for the issues with your sutures? Surprising considering the size of your implants. May I ask how tall you are?

The original suture problem was just from the funk collecting under the tape. And the spitting sutures seems to happen fairly often from what I've seen on here. But I also have low thyroid which predisposed me to healing difficulty and my skin has always been sensitive to everything.

Aw gee, I've also an underactive Thyroid. Did you remain on your Thyroxine the whole time?

Did your PS ever do a wound culture? If you have any more problems with redness or especially drainage, be sure he/she does a wound culture..

No, but there has been no sign of infection and I've been on antibiotics alot with it as a precaution. I think the healing was slow because of our water. We have a terrible water company that I found out is having good problems with the dribkability of their water again. And after my doctor recommended that I clean it with a saline wound wash it has healed alot faster.

Definitely opening
So my tape was all lose from the blood and fluid so I changed it again when showering this morning and it's definitely more opened. Basically it looks like the we got the vertical like closed but the horizontal line is reopening. Sigh! I won't be surprised is we have to replace do that one in another month or two. But I guess even having the vertical line closed will be an improvement for now. I just hope it doesn't get worse. I have my follow up on Monday.

I'm so sorry this is happening! Did you PS give you any explanation for what is causing this? Are you still on antibiotics? Keep your head up. Praying for your healing.
