hey guys ihave my surgery soon in poland......im getting very nervous now ...not about the procedure itself but the results as my main aim really is to get just the nipples tottaly flat...and hearing our stories it concearns me greatly.....there was a guy on this site a while ago who talked about this problem with the scar tissue forming under the nipples after surgery giving the same appearance as pre op.....he got a syringe and sucked the fluid out himself.....youmay remember reading this post it caused a lot of discussion at the time......i will b honest this is something i think i will discuss with the surgeon at my pre op consultation to see ifhe can suck any of this fluid out after and if not i know it sounds drastic butthink i will do it myself.......if it aint gonna kill me and a chance of bringin down the puffyness after surgery then im all 4 givin it a go rather than another year of missery...what are your thoughts guys???
The guy you are talking about was "Gruff"aka "Lopher" aka something else. He had some crazy ideas, but also some good observations. He said that the fluid in your chest causes scar tissue. Some PS's don't like to drain the fluid. They would rather let it drain naturally. I have tried to see if there is a trend I could find on this forum. In my oppinion, there is a higher imediate succes rate with people who have drains put in after surgery (as long as there are no drain complications). Those people seem to have less swelling, so their skin scars down evenly. The compression vest should probably help do the same thing, but it doesn't seem to be as succesful. Again, just my oppinion. I think you are going to get the most swelling where you chest is the worst, because that is where the PS is most aggressive. So, that area will have the biggest void for fluid to settle. The longer that fluid sits in there, the less your skin will contract as a fresh wound. Once it starts to heal with something (fluid) between it (the skin) and the meat, the chances of it adhering with a tight flush fit go down. I had a seroma, and I rushed an got it drained. It looked good, but not as tight as the non-seromsa side. It started to fill again, and I couldn't get to my PS soon enough. By the time I could get there it was almost gone, but it left some mush and hard tissue in its place. I saw my PS yesterday and he hinted that the seroma left some scar tissue. So Gruff wasn't that crazy for draining it before it got hard. My dog had a hemotoma on her ear. the vet put in a drain and left it in for 3 weeks. I though it was over the top, but she said if no fluid could stay between the skin and cartilage, it had no choice but to heal flat. We are not dogs, but I think the same would apply to us. So back to your comment about talking to your PS about draining fluid. I think you absolutley should. I am curious if the others on this thread had drains or not, or any thoguths on my theory.
