Hi Avasmummy

Similar thing happened to me.  I had an immediate reconstruction.  All looking great and healing up beautifully untill a few months later when the skin started to thin out too much due to seroma building up.  Consultant checked it over but didnt action anything further.  One evening - all hell broke loose, the skin split and I was literally soaked in horrible gunky stuff.  This was just the start of it.  Admitted to hospital to stitch up the skin.  Then it would not heal for ages.  Had the wound vac plaster attached for weeks. Things got worse as skin was still turning darker in patches and dark gunky fluid had burst another hole again through the scar line.  Admitted again for another patch-up job.  To cut a long story short - I had to have one more op (3 altogether for cutting the skin) to cut even more necrotising skin off which basically left me totally flat with an absolutely disquisting disfigured area covered in multiple scars.  Radiotherapy made it all flare up again, more seroma was drained this time.  I am now 8 months on from the last operation and my skin is very very slowly thickening up in those remaining patches where it became purple and thinned out.  I am due to have another attempt at reconstruction but not untill middle of next year or maybe even later.

I am still hoping to restore my cleavage so not giving up at all. But I just don't know how /what they can do with this mess.
