Worried About my Breast Lift Complications (photo) [graphic]

I had implants removed & a breast lift with an anchor incision near the end of April had to go back the next day for another surgery to close up some vessel & clean up a hematoma, when the bandages where taken off noticed that my stitches poped & the skin at the T junction pulled back it seems to be getting bigger which has Brest tissue exposed so of it has died & scabbed but most of it is still bleeding & oozing now my nipple looks hideous from the hematoma. I went to my family dr. They cultured it found a bacteria on that was resistant to the 2rounds of antibiotic I was on now on a new antibiotic, my PS want to stitich me up next week but I am not sure about that. I am still swollen hard & bruised & this 4 weeks 3 days after. I am just wanted to be normal in the first place now I have a disgusting breast
