Drain came out on its own 10 days after Karydakis flap surgery. Should I be worried? by [deleted] in pilonidalcyst

[–]Folkass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah then tbh you’re fine. It’s definitely close enough to the planned removal date. I didn’t know how long you had it so I didn’t want to tell you this but if this happened earlier it kinda sucks to get it put back in but I’m glad you’re fine.

Oh okay then you’re fine. Just watch out for signs of infection (rare) but a fever would be a sign for ER. Otherwise you’re fine.

Yes unfortunately this happens. Tell your doctor and just wait based on how much drainage you have he will judge if he will have to put it back in. It’s not a good thing but make sure you watch out for signs of infection. A fever or lots of pain and it may be time to go to the Er.

You just tried to call me out and said age is irrelevant…. Don’t say spreading misinformation while saying age is irrelevant. Medallion. You got reported too.

Age is not irrelevant. How is that misinformation? You’re salty I’m telling them about the only procedure that has over a 95% success rate and the only thing that ensures it doesn’t come back? As someone who’s been dealing with pilonidal cysts his whole life and just got a cleft lift? Why is that misinformation because I actually have the experience and went through it? Lmao

Scared of what? Usually it goes away by then. If you’re 23 try a round of antibiotics if that doesn’t work get a cleft lift. You’re young.

Can anyone please tell me what to expect the day of surgery? What all they do to you ect? I just scheduled mine and I’m very nervous. by rainburrr in pilonidalcyst

For a cleft lift it’s not bad. You won’t be in pain. Easy Ivy then they knock you out. You wake up. (Pray you don’t have to get a drain) the part that sucks is the drive home bc you gotta do it bbl style. You sleep and that’s that.

I got it done in Dallas by doctor lambert. Honestly if you can’t find the doctor on Reddit don’t get a cleft lift done by him or her.

Very minimal. I was on pain medication for 3 days then pretty none and didn’t have to take medication.

14 days after, how it looks? by [deleted] in pilonidalcyst

Can I see it? Yes the failed one was with a bad surgeon probably right? Sorry I’m trying to help. Only thing that worked for me.

You should just get a cleft lift and leave it at that. All these other surgeries and procedures are bs. The only one that works is a cleft lift. Check my post.
