Asked By:Maddyszeryk in Manitoba, MB

I had my surgery on April 2nd and it is not April 27th. After a week of recovery I woke up one morning with blood on my sports bra and an opening at the t zone incision on my left breast. I went to the surgeons on the second week and the nurse looked and said everything seems fine and it’s probably just delayed healing. It’s now 4 weeks after surgery and it’s still bleeding and my breasts are still pretty sore and swollen. I included pictures of how much blood is getting on the gauze pads
