Packed breast wound

has anyone had a breast wound packed and how long did it take to heal? Someone out there must have have this done 

  • Hi there ..

    Don't know if it's the same thing, but on taking masectomy plasters off, my wound opened up and fluid drained out .. had to go to nurse at surgery... she had to drain lots of fluid and then had to pack it with something .. not sure what .. but I did have to have it restitched later ..

    That was over 2 years ago now .. and no problem now ...  hope that helps ... Chrissie   ; ))
