Bruising With Bilateral Mastectomy
Breast Cancer | Last Active: 4 days ago | Replies (9)Comment receiving replies
I had bruising on one side - and while I thought my bruising looked awful (I had never had surgery before and never bruised much) my visiting nurse said it was minimal - and perhaps the lightest she's ever seen. Since that time I have seen more extreme bruising on other social flat networks. Bruising dissipated in 2 to 4 weeks - and began PT in weeks 6. My surgery was done by a breast surgeon and I have two linear incisions; she typically goes straight across on a double, but I didn't want her to cross my midline. I can't say why other than I really just didn't want to have a scare all the way across my chest. Maybe surgical approach has something to do with amount of bruising - or possible bruising. In any case, good luck with your decisions and journey - and may you not bruise too badly!

@anatomary Hi quietrive here , I found that after the cut is healed I rubbed on my scare the apple cider vinegar followed later by Aloe vera really helped It als made the skin softer. I had major surgery for a crushed wrist. A chunk of bone was taken from my hip to replace the wrist joint that the Doctor hand carved. on my wrist snf hip I had scares in 1944 The sacred I never worried about. When I was proving what Apple cider can do I started putting Raw Apple cider and rubed it on. About an hour later I put Aloe Vera liquid over the top and rubbed it in. Today if you look very close you can see a scare. This is something Braggs the mfg said would happen so I checked it out and it did work some by lighting it so it wasn't so visible. The vains showing on the leg I 'm just starting on. good. luck on what ever you try. personally I have many scares and never cared about covering them or fading them out. I kind of figure they just a part of the choices in life I have to live with. Have a wonderful day.
