The only exception to that is necrosis where the skin just dies for lack of blood flow and basically becomes a hole… but that’s also unlikely.
Just don’t mess with it and make sure your bandaging isn’t insanely tight or putting a lot of undue pressure on the installation site and you should be fine.
Would immobilizing the finger make sense, if the Titan were to be jnstalled in laterally on the distal phalanx, where the skin stretches a lot during normal movements?
I think it was @vampire_blue , but I’m not totally sure either…
I think that’s the worst case scenario, with necrosis (like Amal said). But that really shouldn’t happen unless something goes very seriously wrong…
I’m gonna do some research on silicone implants and if they ever might be rejected (if installed properly)… my artist didn’t mention it, so I guess it’s super rare…
It doesn’t sound like anything terrible is going on, if the incision has healed and the implant is fully covered with skin then it shouldn’t be a problem.
Look out for warmth, redness, pain etc. As people have mentioned, try to not fiddle with it and let it heal.
Depends on how fast you heal… my flexie incision wasn’t even closed after 14 days, so I personally wouldn’t risk taking the steristrips away yet. But others have had a much faster healing here… Maybe change them, like, take them off, take a look at how the incision looks like, and then decide if you want to put new strips on for some more days. Or just put strips on overnight or if you’re working with your hands, and keep it “open” if you have some calm time
I think I might be officially DT biggest idiot xD
I took off steristrip, incision looks well, although it got curvy (it was cut straight), but I don’t really care about that.
So I was worried about the dark color, that it’s because it’s too shallow etc. But just know, I’ve remembered… I used marker to point the location… and it left darker spot that was pretty much unwashable XDDDDD I am so unbelievably stupid when I am stressed, it’s insane
Forgot to post photos, so there is my finger 1 week after installation.
I couldn’t really catch focus on normal lense and macro seems to really bumb up the colors (contrast), so have it in mind.
Ah, the finger… yep, looks pretty good so far! I’m always surprised when incisions are so wonderfully closed after such a short time
And, hard to tell by the picture, does the Titan sit directly beneath the incision? If so, is there any trouble because of that?
