“DF had necrotic tissue after her vacuum bandage was removed post mastectomy. She had radiation treatments 13 years earlier that had badly burned her skin, so it was already compromised.
She started using Recovery serum around the area 1 week post-surgery. Her doctor was happy with the progress of the healing and how the wound closed.” – Holly Brown, Looking & Feeling Fab

MASTECTOMY + NECROSIS
Skin care is an extremely important aspect of recovering from a mastectomy, especially when it comes to preventing necrosis. Necrosis is the death of cells in the body and can occur as a result of decreased blood flow or damage to tissue during surgery. After a mastectomy, the skin around the surgical site may become dry, irritated, and even start peeling off. This is a sign of tissue damage and can lead to necrosis if not properly cared for.
To prevent necrosis, it is essential to keep the surgical site clean and moisturized. This can be achieved through gentle cleansing with a mild soap or cleanser. It is important to avoid harsh chemicals and fragrances that can further irritate the skin. Pat the area dry with a soft towel and avoid rubbing or scrubbing the skin.
NeoGenesis skin care products can help to support your skin pre and post-surgery by providing the nutrients needed to nourish and calm the skin, optimize results and minimize downtime. The correct pre-surgery skin care plan helps the skin recover quicker with less swelling and bruising at the surgery site.
After cleansing, Recovery serum used twice daily after cleansing, contains patented S²RM® molecules that infuse nutrients into the skin to achieve optimal levels of health.
It is crucial to keep the area moisturized. Keeping the skin in a hydrated and protected state will help to minimize redness, irritation, discomfort and the chance of scarring will be minimized with the consistent use of the products.
In addition to regular cleaning and moisturizing, it is important to protect the surgical site from further damage. This can be done by avoiding tight clothing or bras that may rub against the area. Wearing loose-fitting and soft fabrics can help prevent irritation and friction on the skin.
