Update: closing wound separation with wet to dry dressings
I tried to apply neosporin, then medihoney. Within a week, not much really changed. So I started to look for alternative methods to heal. This is when I read about wet to dry dressings and decided to give it a shot.
This is the regimen I followed, but please talk to your PS before doing anything new with your healing process please!
I shower twice a day (when I wake up and before bed) and wash my incision sites with antibacterial soap.
After my day shower, I use non stick gauze pads. I cut them up to fit the size of my wound and to save money. I apply saline wound wash to a small gauze pad until it is soaked, then I apply it directly to the wound and cover it with a dry gauze pad. Then I tape it on with paper tape to keep it in place. I replace the wet dressing with a fresh one in the afternoon.
After my night shower, I apply neosporin and then medihoney and cover with a dry non stick gauze pad and paper tape. After only two days of this, my wound is closing rapidly. I've attached some pics so you guys can see for yourselves!
The reason I don't apply the wet dressing at night is just because I start to think about it too much and try to itch. So I just let it "dry" out for a bit.

Provider Review
Look no further, she is the BEST! I don't really write reviews, but I am just so happy with my results that I need to spread the word. This was my first ever surgery, and it couldn't have gone any better. Everyone in her office is so friendly and helpful, and the environment is really comfortable and welcoming. I met with another surgeon prior to meeting with her and I did not feel the same comfort as I did at Pomperaug Plastic Surgery. After my consultation with her, I canceled the consultations I had booked for later. It's only been about a week and a half and I am so pleased with the results of my breast reduction. She did an amazing job and brought me to the exact size I wanted. Not only that, I am shaped really well, and I am just in love with my new figure. She also gave me her phone number to text during the days following my surgery, so I could get any questions I have answered right away. I am somewhat of a hypochondriac, so this was super reassuring for me. If you're looking for a plastic surgeon in CT, I couldn't recommend her enough. I don't even live close to her office and I found the drive to ultimately be very worth it. She and the rest of the staff in her office are all so sweet and made me feel so much less nervous about everything. Also-- waterbury hospital is nice! If you need to get surgery done there, the staff I met were all very friendly and helpful. My first experience getting surgery was virtually painless. Choosing Dr. Waitze as my surgeon was pretty much the best decision I've ever made! I can't imagine where I'd be right now if I had chosen someone else to perform my surgery. Thank you so much to everyone at Pomperaug Plastic Surgery for making my life change for the better.
