gatorgal 0 Posted July 8, 2009 I think my uppermost incision may be infected--it's right at my bra line and it's hard to keep my bra from rubbing it. I am going to the doc tomorrow for him to check it. Anyone else have issues with incisions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karamel 1 Posted July 8, 2009 My incision was right below my bra line and unless I sat straight up or stood straight up it rubbed and I had pain. I have been rubbing aloe vera on it twice a day and its healing pretty well (banded on June 11th). It did kind of keiloid (sp) on the edges. Im lucky im a clothes horse and love to buy bras. The only thing that has saved me is changing into a different bra every day and washing them in between wears. Washing them keeps them tight and they dont slip down as often. I used to work retail and noticed most women have about 4-5 bras, I have about 28 lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phranp 46 Posted July 8, 2009 I went in for my first fill today and had reddness around the incision where my port is, I was afraid he would not fill. He did, YAY!! Anyway, I am going to buy some neosporin this evening in the hopes that it will be completely healed and the redness gone by my next fill -- in two weeks. Karamel, I also keloid and I am concerned about how I am healing. It appears that only the incision under my bra is showing signs of keloid. Go figure. Good luck to all.

sloaneb 0 Posted July 8, 2009 I have a sort of swelling (hard firm) bulge under my large incision. I am going for a CAT scan to make sure it is not a hernia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BH123 0 Posted July 25, 2009 Hi everyone I am newly banded:)I am 3 days post-op. The incision where my port is happens to be a little red a warm the nurse told me that if it isn't hot that I shouldn't worry. Is anyone else having this problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beccab1980 0 Posted July 25, 2009 I had the bra problem too. I bought a sports bra that was a little small so it stayed high and kept "the girls" from resting on the incisions. Sometimes I would wear my normal bra and the sports bra over it. I did have a problem with the stitches on my middle incision and the doctor had to dig them out at my first fill. It healed up within days after. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
