6 Weeks Post Breast Augmentation Complications
I'm afraid I don't get the whole idea of what has happened. A photo would help. When the incision "split" was the implant visible, or was only some underlying breast tissue seen under the skin?
I also don't understand what you mean by no aftercare. Someone obviously prescribed antibiotics for you. The questions you have are best addressed to your surgeon, and if that doc is not available to another plastic surgeon who can examine you and make recommendations on all these questions...

Complication after Breast Augmentation?

Complications Need In-person Follow up.
Hello and thank you for your question.
It sounds like you have an issue that needs to be seen by a board certified plastic surgeon. With an openning and discharge I suspect that there may be contamination or infection of the implant, but there is no way of knowing without a good examination. I encourage you to go back to your plastic surgeon and request a follow up consultation.
Best Wishes!

Post Augmentation Complications
Thank you for the questions. It appears that there are many issues here that can only be resolved through an in-person exam with your plastic surgeon. If you are unable to see your original surgeon I would recommend you seek consultation with another Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for an evaluation.
Good luck.

Post breast augmentation problems
Thank you for the questions. Given all your concerns, I think you should contact your surgeon and arrange a follow up appointment. It is difficult to give you an exact diagnosis without proper exam. If you can not see your plastic surgeon then contact your PCP or arrange to see another plastic surgeon. Best Wishes.

No aftercare?
Hello and thanks for posting. It sounds like you're having trouble with your breast implant and breast incision. What you are describing requires that you seek the help of a trained professional. I find it unusual that your operating surgeon is not providing aftercare. You should request to be seen by a board certified plastic surgeon if your original operative surgeon is unwilling to help and soon. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo.
