Possible infection.. Help!

Hi! So I’m about 3 weeks post op and so far everything has gone great. Then today I noticed a small area at the T junction where the skin seems to have come away slightly and it a little bit gooey… I’m so worried as the clinic isn’t open again til Monday. Has anyone else had this? Or am I worrying over nothing? Any help would be great x

It could be but try not to worry
Your nurse will swab it and the turnaround on results is so quick. Keep it clean and by the time you’ve seen this, hopefully you’d have seen your nurse already x

I’m seeing the nurse today… It’s so hard not to worry but I’m trying not to stress about it ? thanks for your reply x

How are you doing Rebekah?
I know it’s hard to not worry, I did the same about a week post op when I saw weeping, only to find out it was normal.

Really well thank you! Just have to go back to the nurse to have my dressings changed every 4 days but there already seems to be good progress and the tests showed no infection so, so far so good!

Reduction healing is hard, far tougher on the body than an enlargement. I’m glad you’re on the mend!

Thank you! 2 out of the three open wounds are now healed and I’m feeling so much more positive. It really started to get me down, especially as I’ve gone back to uni and had to miss the whole freshers experience. I just can’t wait to wear an actual bra again rather than these sports bras! Haha

Hi Rebecca, I had a reduction/uplift with Dr traynor. I am 8 days po. How’s your recovery going Hun? Xx

A lot better now thank you! I’ve not been allowed to shower for a month and today the bandages are off and I can shower which I’m stupidly excited about! Haha
Just getting myself ready to go back to work and normality now and being careful. How are you feeling after your op? Xx

Hiya I am feeling a lot better than I did, still sore and achy but I’m getting used to that now, sleeping on my back is a nightmare tho! I have my 2 week po tomo with the nurse, can not wait to be able to shower, glad your recovering well. Take care xx
