I was just wondering how the area around the implant healed after surgery. My daughters seems to be doing fine. I just have concerns when I look at it after she gets out of the shower. It always looks so tender. It's almost been a month since she had her surgery and we started cleaning the area about a week or so ago. It can be a little delicate in certain spots, but for the most part she is fine.
I just want to make sure she's healing okay. I'm sure it takes a while for that area to fully recover since a small amount of tissue was removed as well as her having stitches and anything else done.
I just want to make sure it doesnt get infected.
Thanks!

The site does take time to heal and will be tender for a while. I can't recall exactly how long though - my implant surgery was almost 4 years ago.
Be careful with the cleaning. Cleaning too aggressively can lead to infection.
Best,

Thank you jan. Her doctor said it looked fine. She just had her follow up. I was a little worried that it was still too tender but the doctor said she is healing just fine. :)
She is set to get her baha just before the year is up! :)

Glad she's healing well :)
