Bleeding at Incision Site After Breast Augmentation. Almost 2 Weeks Post Op., Normal? (photo)

August 11, 2013
Asked By:Mahal

I am 12 days post op breast augmentation. On the first day my right breast was bleeding from the incision site. The nurse said this was normal. The bleeding stopped the same day. Last night I noticed a huge blood stain on my bandage tapes and some dried blood near my rib. The right breast bled again 11 days later. Is this normal? I can't see what's going on under the bandage tape because I am not allowed to take it off until week 4.
