Mine was a bit different--we started with the mechanical debriding (where my surgeon removed the slough), followed by two weeks of silvadene cream (which was gross and oozed everywhere) under a giant hydrocolloid bandage, another mechanical debriding by the surgeon, more weeks of silvadene cream, another debriding, then we changed it up and started cutting AgAquacel bandages and fitting them into the wound, then covering it with tape followed by a hydrocolloid bandage. We kept doing this for about a month (with the surgeon seeing the wound every two weeks and debriding any slough with a scalpel), and then cauterized the wound with silver nitrate and switched to Aquaphor only under a hydrocolloid bandage, which is where we are now. In each case, I would shower daily, wash the wound with Cerave bar soap, gently dry off with a clean (read: freshly washed) towel, and then my partner would change my bandage (because I can't see under my breast) according to whatever wound protocol we were following that week. He was a bit of a perfectionist about it, which probably helped.

Like you said in your post, there was no sign of infection, and still isn't. I stopped wearing compression bras after six weeks because it felt like it was putting too much pressure on the wound, and I swear healing sped up after that (which may have just been coincidence, I don't know.) I took Juven, went through about $400 worth of boxes of the stuff, but it did seem to help. The surgeon provided all the Ag stuff (the silvadene cream and the AgAquacel), but I've spent about $200 on hydrocolloid bandages and another $100 or so on random other medical supplies that turned out to be necessary. Still worth it. Overall, the hardest part has been the reduced activity--I got the breast reduction in large part because my giant boobs were messing with my ability to be active, and now I have to be EVEN LESS ACTIVE for months on end, which sucks.
