Is It Normal for Them to Bleed a Little

It all depends upon what you think a little is. A small stain on a steristrip is not a worry. Blood soaking a large gauze dressing may be of concern. Either way, a call to your surgeon is the appropriate place to ask your question. Your surgeon can decide whether or not you need to be seen. Thanks, best wishes.

If you are unsure, call your plastic surgeon for your peace of mind (there is no reason to wait for your office visit)... more

Post-op oozing normal?

Yes, it is not uncommon to have a little oozing after surgery. Most import to check is that the incisions are intact and that there is not increasing swelling of one or both breasts. Certainly contact your plastic surgeon if there are concerns. All the best!
