Leakage on Scars 3 Weeks After Surgery, is This Normal?

November 6, 2012
Asked By:Nic b

I had surgery just over 3weeks ago over in Turkey, on return home I felt the right breast was swollen and was advised of possible collection of fluid however tonight the left breast looked a little inflamed around the incision and it started to weep fluid, after a visit to my GP he has put on a dressing and given me some anti biotics, however will this clear any infection and when should the leaking stop? My surgeon is based in turkey ands will not be over in UK for 3 weeks
