Ah rubbish, sorry it's still sore. Is it closed and not leaking at least?
Only the top part is closed but bottom part won't close, only leaks if I don't put in sorbsan ribbon still laying on my side, I don't know if it will ever heal might just have to try live with it I don't want any more operations.
I'm done with any surgery it might close eventually but probably take a year.
How's you're bottom bit any issue's?
Ah, rubbish. Girl in your vid said it took her 4/6 months so guess just have to keep giving it time
My top and bottom bit are great, there's just a bit in the middle that's most in the cleft that doesn't seem happy and is leaking. Improved in last few days but still leaking. Seeing Miss Senapati on Mon and will update here. At least I now have 8 weeks summer holiday to rest and recover

Yeah maybe but I expected some results 3 month's on it is disheartening when you just want to be as normal as possible and be able to sit with no pain and do activities without it hurting,
Hmm the middle moisture my middle part is tight shut and bone dry just my tiny bit at the end the anus is where it's slight open for me and leaks a bit but like i say ribbon helps soak it up and drys it.
Senapati might dress it for you on Monday I'm sure she give you best advice for it.
I'm similar to both of you
Any moisture and leakage in the middle is a slight concern keep us updated
Ugh oh middle part moisture for a cleft lift becareful take it easy lucky Senapati Monday.

I'm now even more on edge, thanks
Sorry didn't mean to scare you, I got the same issue but I think it's just sweatI'm now even more on edge, thanks
I have that problem as well at my work the warehouse is so hot my boxer's are soaked in sweat the hot weather doesn't help, probably why my bottom area is struggling to heal, sweat glands is irrating it.
These summer months are the worst for these wounds Unfortunately.
Goodluck on Monday I'm sure Senapati will help it with some silver.
As expected, she confirmed there's a small opening which she described as 'superficial'. The rest of it looking very good. She expects it to heal still but obviously can't make promises. She removed a couple if stitches still showing and used some silver nitrate. Back to see her again in a month.
So yeah, what I was expecting. Obviously she is #1 and much better than my previous surgeon/consultants but I've basically been told 'oh it should heal' for 2 years. Hopefully this time it actually does

I would just keep using silver than and sorbsan but obviously get nurse to do it I'm afraid to say my bottom area has not healed at all 3 months on did you ask her why the bottom bit opens up and best dressings for it?As expected, she confirmed there's a small opening which she described as 'superficial'.

What you are describing is exactly same as what she did for me but I won't go back to see her as its too much cost affective
Aww ok must miss read I though it was the bottom area, really If cleft lift Is high success I'm just curious as to why it part opens and best way to heal it, I guess I should do the same and pack mine daily it was a little bit better today but not by much
Yeah so mine actually has a little tail on the bottom that sort of goes to the cheek. She said she had to do this because skin was tight. This bit is fine. The issue is a bit higher up more in the cleft.
I think she had been saying 50% break down but do usually heal after. I'm guessing it's because it's still in a really delicate area that gets hot, hairy, damp and moves a lot

That's strange because mine is all healed from top to middle fully, but only my tiny bit at the bottom won't heal or refuses to heal I've not had any issue's near that bit and she said my bottom bit should heal but 3 months on still trying to heal it.
I think end the day cleft lift isn't a magic cure that everyone claims it to be yeah it has higher success rates but people need to know it's not going take a week or 2 than done,
That woman in the YouTube clip said it took her 2 year's to be absolutely 100% actually 150% healed so yeah all I can say is keep packing it daily keep you're chin up you said you got rest day's now so that will help rest the wound and allow healing.
Keep us updated on the healing progress
Sorry to hear you guy's are going through this, I agree with spokm keep your chin up guy's I don't have much I can add, I hope you very heal soon.
Trouble is I find the salt difficult to get into the area, the thing Is mine is not 1x1cm deep it's just probably about size of a pea I'm using sorbsan ribbon and it's helping that stuff is strong I'm getting no leakage with it and it's so small it's difficult for me to squeeze it in.
Maybe in a month time it fully heal finger's crossed it's not healed yet but that sorbsan is really good stuff less pain no blood discharge
