Please tell me how you have been advised to treat open wound. I had transfer to implant surgery 3 weeks ago and my incision has opened and oozing. Right now they just want topical antibiotic and gauze. This happened at my initial double mastectomy as well when they placed the expanders...I don't want to go through this prolonged healing process anymore!!!!

I was told the same thing, topical antibiotic and gauge. It's still open, but not oozing anymore. My sick about this husband feels a flap of skin over it s/b removed surgically; I hate that thought. I don't think I can go into that office again. I was lied to, put off, ignored, and there-there.
I'm sick over this and just want it to heal...eventually. I feel like you must.
