Left breast healed from surgery (5/26)but the right breast has a small scap hanging on. It is the one spot where the incision kinda gapped a bit. How long did it take your incision to heal?

    Healing
    It was 8 weeks before I could start the expansion process. Had a surgery two weeks after the mastectomy for removal of dead skin, then another one for a hole that would just not heal. I certainly do not think I am the norm. Most people I have talked to healed very nicely after about 2 weeks.

    Sorry, Vicki, I never had
    Sorry, Vicki, I never had any scabs or gapping, though I believe it is common. You should hear soon from women who've had those problems and others.
