One of my Stitches Looks Open W/ Some Discharge
This could be trivial, as an extruding suture, or serious, as a fluid collection or seroma and this won't be solved on line. Call your surgeon.

Breast lift and discharge
Drainage is normal 1 or 2 days after the surgery but it is abnormal after that. There could be 2 problems. It could be a deep problem with a seroma pending infection in the breast or it could be a local rash into the deep stitch, which is splitting and will heal as the stitch is removed.

Open wound and discharge after breast lift
Yes, you should call your surgeon's office to discuss. They will be better able to advise you on how urgent you should be seen. It is probably just a "spitting suture" which is a minor nuisance.
