    Having problems with my left boob, still swollen and implant sitting really high, had to go back a week after my first appointment a week after op as my incision had not healed properly a little bit of the incision had not nipped together, when I went back on Thursday the nurse took my dressings off and says they have healed much better, so she just put steri strips on, and told me to take them off after each shower and check that there is no pussing and put new strips on, everything was fine Friday morning but did the same Saturday morning and noticed the bit that hadn’t nipped together last time had reopened, and today I have noticed another bit has reopened! I’m trying to rest and not use that arm to open or lift anything but I’m so scared my implant is just going to drop out……I know over reaction, but seriously has this happened to anyone else? I am actually going back to see mr traynor tomorrow as mr Kazzazi does not come up to Newcastle anymore to check about the swelling of my left boob never mind the incision……starting to wish I never went through with it if I’m going to have loads of problems, my right boob has dropped not swollen and is fine!

    Yeah that’s all I’m going to do still worrying 🙁 hoping they say its nothing to be concerned about assume they are going to put heavier dressing on and I bet that means I can’t shower again properly xx

    dont do any lefting or anything, dont want it to open up anymore…keep it covered up so nothing gets inside and causes infection, see what mr traynor thinks tomorrow xx

    hi, openins in incisions seems to be quite common, its happened to me and a few other ppl i’ve spoke to, if i was u i’d avoid the shower and leave ur steri strips on for a few days, if ur constantly takin them off u can take off any new scab formin n let ur skin open agen, and can leave a wider scar when ur healed, try to cover and leave the open bits completly alone so they can heal, and eat plently of foods rich in vitamin c as it helps skin heal, make sure u drink loads n get loads of rest, maybe change the strips after 3-4 days x
