The nurse practitioner removed a few stitches 2 weeks ago. She did leave a small opening on my right breast after she removed the stitches but it healed after about a week. But now that same area has opened up & is discharging which looks like pus. After inspecting the area I found another stitch wanting to come out. I was able to cut the stitch & disinfected the area. Will this cause any issues with scarring & will it heal ok?
I had a lift with 200 cc saline implant 15 days ago. I visited my PS yesterday bc I had concerns of fluid. He said I was fine. Did not remove my tape. Today, I noticed very gross yellow puss leaking through tape. Remove it to find raw skin. And 2 clear stitches poking out. PS didn't seem concerned, told me to clean and dry it. He also said to grab stitches with tweezers and pull and clip. I clipped but when I tried to remove them they were stuck and I began to bleed, no antibiotics. What 2do??
I had a breast lift with 250cc implant 11 wks ago then yesterday I had what looked like yellowish puss come out of a small area along the incision. I showered as normal & today the inside of my bra has blood & puss on it, the wound looks larger & Im concerned. I did have 2 spitting stitches that healed on their own but there wasnt this amount of leakage. No pain, no smell but there is some redness around the area. This is just under the nipple where the incisions meet. Is this worrisome?
It opened today, pus was yellowish green and blood followed. My PS out of state said to treat it like a pimple and squeeze the pus out and wash with soap and water. There is redness and pain when pressed, should I be on antibiotics?
A week after a full breasts lift, with implants (470cc and 325cc) plus a mini tummy tuck, my right breast started oozing and looked like the stitches were no longer present. I went in to office and had covering and gauze dressing to keep on for 5 days. After see pic below. Nurse said put neosporin and gauze on it while air it out for 20-30 min. I'm worried I will have permanent damage. Is this the best course of treatment or ahould I go back in to see the doctor tomorrow?
I've recently had a breast augumentation and lolli-pop lift. I am 5 weeks post op and I have blisters forming around my nipple. The blisters have popped and white & yellowery pus has come out. They have started to heal and a scab has formed but I can still see white pus on underneath, like it's ready to pop again. A few have! I have asked my surgeon for this opinion and he has told me to keep the areas clean by using an antiseptic liquid and cream, and reguarly change my dressings once a day.
Mastopexy (anchor) & breast augmentation 6 weeks post-op There's no pain, but I did apply pressure last night trying to massage my scars. This morning i noticed a small bubble full of pus so I squeezed and everything came out with some blood. I have a gauze on as well as ointment. My doctor is 2hrs away don't want to make a big deal of its nothing.
I had an anchor lift on my left breast & a crescent lift on my right breast with 397cc silicone implants on Dec. 23rd. Two days ago I noticed a pussing opening on vertical incision & one slightly bleeding at T. Should I be worried? Treating once to twice daily with Polysporin and covering with cotton pad. A bump appeared on right breast today. Getting progressively larger & a little tender. Possible spitting suture? Next Dr app is Feb 9th. Most worried about infection prevention.
