    My incisions have been fantastic up until now. On monday I noticed a red patch on my right incision so I thought I’d keep an eye on it. I don’t think it’s getting bigger but it is definitely getting redder, although it’s not sore at all.

    It hasn’t been rubbing on anything so I don’t know what’s caused it. I’m keeping it clean and watching out for any bleeding or yellow stuff. I’ve put a photo on if someone wants to look at it for me please.

    It’s caught me off guard a bit because I’m 5 weeks post op and if I were to worry about one boob, it would be the left because it’s been the hardest and sorest. The right one has been great, I haven’t had any problems with it and it’s soft and squidgy too x

    when i went for a check up a few weeks ago the nurse and surgeon were running late, the nurse apoligised and said it was becouse a women who was 3mths po had come in with a infection, she said it can happen at anytime.

    if your concerned hun i would ring the emergancy nurse or your clinic if for nothing else just to put your mind at ease. xx
