Wow Im so sorry to hear of your complications! You seem to have such a positive attitude about it though. I am thinking you will be just fine.

Good luck with the rest of the follow ups and stuff.

1 week post-op..

Had my first follow-up today with the surgeon. He was pleased to see Nipple Left has decided to come back and join the real world. And he apologized for beating the $@#$ out of me. (I still look like i went 10 rounds).

Other than that he said im doing remarkably well. I also feel great. Haven't taken any pain meds in 2 days. And my back hasn't hurt since the operation. My skin is itching like crazy though. The Dr now has me putting polysporin on the incisions to help with scarring.. Nipple Right is still black and blue.

Aren't we all!

I know I update a lot but today something drastic happened. I went to my wound treatment at 9am and by 10am he had me sitting in the ER of the hospital that I had surgery in. Turns out that i have a very agressive infection that happened within the last 24 hours. Since I was at the wound clinic yesterday afternoon and didnt show any symptoms. I now have Cellulitis and am on an IV drip antibiotic. I have to have the drip FOUR times a day for the next week. So i got to come home with a lovely IV taped to all my arm hairs. I'm starting to second guess the decision for this surgery. 🙁

Oh yeah.. forgot to mention that when I got to the wound clinic I started leaking a massive amount of fluid out of my incisions that should have healed a while ago being as its been 3 weeks since the surgery.

Wow. Sorry to hear what you are going thru from the surgery.
Hang in there. Everything will be alright.

Wow! Good luck!

I had a friend who had reduction and even a good operation seems to leave a lot of scarring. This sounds terrible for you though. Holy crap!
 
Sorry things aren't going so well. Definitely keep a wound journal though, something that might be useful in a malpractice suit, if thats an option.
 
I am very sorry to hear of what you have been through.

You gonna be ok? Seriously, it seems that it has sucked up until now, but ... long term... you gonna be ok?

Sheesh, i really am sorry.
🙁
 
This is terrible 🙁

Wish you a good recovery.

Sorry to hear about your problems 🙁 Coincidentally, my wife had a reduction on the 18th, they took out 15lbs combined. Her recovery has been smooth though, she was back to work as of last week.

Hope you feel better soon and everything works out for you.
 
I'm sorry to hear about your troubles after your surgery. I hope things get better and the antibotiotics can get rid of your infection.
 
If this all happened in the last 24 hrs. then I have to think that they caught it very early on and would think that it'll respond to treatment.

Keep a stiff upper lip, I'm sure you'll be OK.
