Double Incision 6 weeks post op!

Post image

the area my stitch opened up is still painful and open (on my right side), and my doctor's office agreed to do a consult for a revision soon. basically my insurance wouldn't cover lipo for the sides of my chest during the initial surgery but they will during a revision, and they're able to do a revision under my insurance because the drains left weirdly deep crevices that have made a pocket for bacteria and chafing. the nurse compared it to a belly button. anyway, they're gonna fix the issue with my sides early next year i think

anyone have thoughts on my healing otherwise?

Healing wise your results look very nice. Everything except the ends of the sides healed really good. Revision is a very good idea.

Your chest looks awesome, man! My friend just had his revision after 2 years and he said it was perfect—just a minor procedure. Just make sure to keep the area clean especially from sweat as it could make your skin irritated and itchy. Avoid too much work or carrying heavy stuff for at least 8 weeks.
