    I am 2 weeks PO and looked to check my incision on the mirror, lifted my sports bra and arm to do so and felt this horrendous ripping pain sensation right where my insicions is. I can barely stand up now is it possible I have ripped it open ? I am too scared to check again. They’re not properly healed yet at all !!

    Can u not hold a mirror under ur boobs, tilt it slightly and look that way? In my opinion u have torn ur muscles. That can feel just like that I very much doubt u would have pulled the scar just by doing that especially that ur two weeks op. Try and take a pic of the area or use the mirror just to reassure itself. Don’t panic tho hun if ud torn it there would be bright red blood xx

    Thanks Sarah I feel a bit better now. There’s no way it can tear open really if I’m two weeks post op is there ? I had another quick lool and it just looks dark red but I see no blood. It was just a really horrible ripping sensation but I’m sure there would be blood if it was torn open. Horrible 🙁 🙁 !!! Xxxx

    There would defo be bright red blood I know because this happened to my friend 5 days op!! At 2 weeks the healing process is really on its way so ud literally need to pull I apart for that to happen. A pulled muscle does feel like ripping especially as everything’s been irritated, take a couple pain killers if need be and rest up hun. Ur be fine xx

    Hi, i dont want to alarm you but i ripped mine open and im sire i was about 2 weeks post op. I dived across my bed to answer my phone and it hurt like f**k! It was only a but at the end but thats all i can imagine it was. The nurse checked n cleaned it and put steri strips on it. But definitely get it checked out. If it is even slightly open, ur more susceptible to infection xxx better safe than sorry x

    It is possible to tear them open, they won’t be fully healed/scabbed until around 6 weeks, give the clinic a call to see a nurse or if the clinic is too far get your GP/local nurse to take a look. It could just be dried skin/scabbing tearing but better to be safe x

    Thanks for that kaydee my po told me its pretty much impossible unless I was playing volleyball…going to bear this in mind when healing. Xx

    No problem x everyones skin heals at a different rate, you can speed things up by eating a high protein low sugar diet, it promotes fast healing but plenty of rest and keeping them dry is the top priority!

    Ah no way x hope you are ok x you seeing nurse tomorrow x

    Ah I’m so gutted if I have ripped it, they were doing well otherwise! The pain is on and off now actually it’s so annoying. Yeah Nicki you could have made the meal again with the crumbs that fell onto the bed when the nurse removed my strapping, lol! Thanks for the help I’m going to keep it dry for now and see how it goes tomorrow before I take it to the nurse if I can help it xxx

    I had the same thing the day I had my tape off, but I had it every time I tried to stand up straight, it was awfull. I went to bed fine but as soon as it stood up in the morning, boom, there it was again, almost put me on my knees it hurt do much. I took a strong pain killer went for a walk and never had that pain again, the nurse said the skin was just stretching and the walking and moving around after the strong pain killer would have stretched it out and loosened it up. Hope your ok though Hun take it easy x
