Title: SRS POST OP skin tears ?????
Post by: transnztal on March 02, 2017, 01:34:30 AM
For anyone who got srs is it normal to get skin tears underneath vagina like between vagina and ass? Like the skin seeming like it's ripped from your vagina to your ass is this normal ? Has anyone experienced this ? I wonder if it requires stitches? Srs recovery is crazy

Not normal. Go see your surgeon ASAP.

I had a single stitch pop open that resulted in what looked like a 1" or so "tear" in that location. (That's one of the parts of the skin that's under the highest tension post-op, between normal movement and dilation, so tears are more likely there anyway.) The stitches were supposed to all be dissolved within two weeks, but that one only lasted about a week, which was annoying. However, it did heal cleanly and without a scar. You probably should consult with a medical professional - a local one if the original surgeon is out of the question - to be sure that it's not excessive and doesn't need to be re-stitched, but it will likely be fine.

I had some minor skin tears in that area, no problem with stitches and no bleeding, just stretched to the point of being a bit raw. My doctor had me treat it with Neosporen ointment for a week and it healed up.

The piece of skin literally fell off its raw but not that much bleeding really? I'm calling my doctor today
