Breast Reduction/uplift

Awww jojo really do feel bad for you sweetie... hopefully the iv antibiotics will soon kick in. Thinking of you x

Oh no JoJo, that doesn't sound pleasant, poor you x

I hope the antibiotics do the trick xx

Sorry to hear that jojo... At least you caught it early and are being looked after, fingers crossed for you xx

Thanks ladies for your well wishes surgeon came to see me 7.30 this morning definitely infection and said he going to give me local anaestic where infection is and reopen wound to flush it and put drain in ...he coming back to review it at 1.30 said could be home tomorrow or sat...one good thing he said was least it's leaking x

Aww jo, hopefully all is pain free and quick, at least it will all be sorted, lots of good luck XX

Thank you sorry cookie not answered your question no mention of it being a haemotoma just keeping leaking rancid, yellow, green, red stuff it's awful......x

Ouch, poor you, however they certainly sound like they are on top of it. I hope it does the trick and you can go home, and I hope you aren't feeling too yuck, hugs x

Bless your heart, you are going through it aren't you. I haven't heard of a reaction to an infection in this way, so thank you for sharing. Its good for us to learn here.

A Seroma also comes to mind too with the drain being there, so hearing an infection reacts in this way is good for us all to know.

Wishing you a speedy recovery sweetheart and hoping you're in the comfort of your own home soon  

Hi just quick update surgeon has given me local anaestic and opened wound and flushed and put drain in was feeling so nervous but glad it's done he took 20ml of fluid he put me on 2 antibiotics and hopefully can go home on sat xx

Its good that your surgeon is looking after you Jojo and you're in the best place babe... So make the most of being pampered in hospital and stay strong hun. We're all here for you  

Thank you everyone....just all keep In mind ladies after surgery any weeping of any amount make sure you get it checked out or if you have any flu like symptoms I just thought I was coming down with a cold until it's started weeping profusely last night look out for smell that is a sure giveaway or if you generally just feel unwell or not right like my surgeon said today better to be safe than sorry...I am being very well looked after xx

I had an infection Jo. I remember all too well the smell... It stinks! EW! Thankfully I never had the gushing of fluid that you had though, just pus thankfully. The draining and anti-bs should hopefully of the job for ya now babe

So glad to hear your on your way home now after a tough few days, you've been really brave... Rest up now :) xx

Jojo sweetie... So glad your on your way to recovering again. No doubt your head is battered by the events of the last few days. Just try and start to heal and take some time out sweetie. One day at a time ok... Your have been brave and so positive too. Unfortunately things like this happen and I think you have dealt with it amazingly so. Time to rest up now sweetie x

Jojo, gosh you sound very brave, I am sure it hasn't been the most pleasant couple of days for you x

Can I just say i love your attitude, I hope it goes well on Tuesday and rest of your weekend is lovely and restful x

Hi ladies thank you sooo much for your well wishes and your kind words been back to hospital today for check up and surgeon pleased with everything and advised to keep dressing the open wound with gauze and savlon have to go back on fri to have stitches taken out ...was disappointed as I thought they were dissolvable ...hope it don't hurt xx

That is great news, well done xx having stitches out is alright, nothing to worry about x

Aww fingers crossed all will be fine now, cookie had her stitches out the other day and said there was no pain so I'm sure your be ok :) xx

You be fine with the stitches Jo don't worry. Surgeons never tend to use permanent stitches these days, they use the dissolvable, but even though they're dissolvable, they still need some help with some needing to be taken out. Especially the knots which don't tend to dissolve well often.

If you do have permanent which I just had too babe, because I have an allergy to the dissolvable suctures then its fine. Absolutely painless. You'll feel a little tugging and a bit of a strange sensation as you feel them pull through, but there's no pain at all and its all done in two minutes. Xxx
