Received a breast lift and reduction four weeks ago. Left breast is fine, right breast has some nipple healing issues but it's healing. Main issue is the incision under the breast. There is an open wound at the t junction which is slowly healing. The incision though is puckered, swollen and bumpy. There is also a hole at the end of it. The de pulled a stitch out ten days ago but no change. It leaks clear fluid and is very deep. Is my incision infected? Will the hole heal?
I had a breast lift op in March and have only started to heal. I was of healthy weight and eat well, stayed super clean and followed aftercare exactly but my sutures completely came away and I didn't heal for months!! I had such bad leakage for months and had to visit the nurse twice a week for dressing changes the whole process was depressing and stressful. As my skin has only just came together I've been left with terrible, thick and painful scaring.How did this happen and what can I do now?
I had a mastopexy of the left breast with an augmentation 4 weeks ago, my wound has healed well with no issues. I just saw my surgeon's PA last week. However when I was doing my scar therapy massage a small piece of dead skin pulled away on my nipple incision and it has leaked a small amount of clear fluid. I do not have any redness or additional pain. Should I try to go back to my surgeon, the only reason I am asking here is because of the 2 hour drive!
I had a breast uplift 9/5/17 so nearly 3 weeks post op. I noticed when I had my bandages removed 23/5/17 that a I was leaking clear/yellow substance. It's not leaking out but just shows dry on steri strip and bra when taken off. I have also noticed a little pocket at the end of my incision not too sure whether the pocket&drainage is infection or spit stitches. The area isn't red nor have I got a temperature. And also black bits around the nipple, dry blood or infection
I'm 5 days post-op (anchored incision). I'm having a cloudy bloody (not dark or light) leakage from the incision on my left downward incision and underneath the breast. My right breast is leaking from underneath the breast. When I change the bandage it drips down my stomach. The doctor prescribed antibotics just in case of an infection. Absent of a pain, fever, chills, or foul odor from leakgae. It doesn't appear the incision is torn, etc. Should it be leaking? Should I go to the emgerency room?
