Direct to Implant and Reconstruction Same Day

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.

After my first surgery when they put in expanders it took months before they would actually expand the expanders because of the open wound and chance of expanders being infected. If that happened they said I would Likely have no choice but to go flat. Now I’m afraid if this opening gets worse and it reaches my implants I will be looking at the chance of having to go flat again. I am trying not to use my arms too much, but seriously, it is so hard. I sit here all day, can’t exercise or clean…I’m going to gain so much weight I just know it (also Tamoxifen isn’t helping the waistline). Rant done! 🤪
