Post breast reduction and I feel like Swiss cheese. I was healing really well. Then I hit the 18 day mark. I'm now POD 26 And feel like this process is mental warfare. A few spots were opened to allow fluid to drain By my surgeo. It was said I was experiencing fat necrosis. Dressing changes and patience is the approach. It's depressing to say the least. My surgeon has a great track record. I'm not obese and do not smoke. I am following instructions to the letter. Using Silvadene with dressing changes twice a day after washing with gentle soap and water. I'm drinking Juven and get plenty of protein. Please tell me there is hope.
