rant and questions
I am just so done with these little holes/tears in the incisions on my left breast. My right is healing PERFECTLY the only flaws being one or two tiny tiny scabs. On the other hand my left now has three small tears in the incisions (one on the vertical two on the horizontal).
I'm not worried about them, I've seen plenty of other people on here with similar openings and they don't hurt and aren't infected. I'm just pissed that it'll leave a much bigger scar on my left than on my right!
So, question time! Any answers would be REALLY super helpful.
1) How long does it take for these little holes/tears to heal up? Should I do anything to help the process?
2) What are the best scar-reduction cremes you know of? How well have they worked?

healing progress
Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around that much. Finals are just around the corner and I'm trying to get my rear in gear.
My breasts has been healing fairly well with the exception of the left one. Oh, Lefty, why must you trouble me so???
The soreness has gone down a whole bunch and can even sleep on my side again, but I'm thinking about staying on my back just due to the left one.
There are some splits that have been draining still and they're just a pain in the ass. If you look at the picture I posted (that may or may not be upside down idk cellphones are weird) you can see two, one on the vertices incision and one on the horizontal.
The vertical one has completly closed but it's not healed. It's like a blister, I can still feel fluid underneath. The two scabby areas to the sides of it are from a bandaid I put on for the leaking. I had no idea my skin was that dry, it just came right off! I'm using lotion now.
The bottom one on the horizontal incision just started leaking again a few hours earlier. Just clear fluid, no blood or anything.
Other than that things have been great. Walking up stairs to class is no longer torture and I have found a lot of cute button up tops to wear!!!
I'll try to start updating more frequently! Till then, friends!

Anyone else experience this???
I got out of the shower about half an hour ago and I just noticed that I must have accidently torn off some scabs around my nipple because the wounds are now open and slightly draining, very similar or maybe even identical to the fluid that was draining directly after the surgery. Should I call my PS? Is this dangerous? I've included a few pictures. This is on my left breast, which has been my problem one since the beginning (lots of swelling and draining, is still bigger than the right :( )
